fun Calendar.toDayAndDateFormat(outputPattern: String = "EEE, d MMM yyyy"): String {
    val sdf = SimpleDateFormat(outputPattern, Locale.getDefault())
    return try {
        sdf.format(this.time)
    } catch (e: Exception) {
        this.toString()
    }
}

now you can use with date like this:

val today = Calendar.getInstance()
today.toDayAndDateFormat()

    @SuppressLint("NewApi") // Selected Date From Date Picker Format
    val resultFromDatePicker = SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy", Locale.US)

    @SuppressLint("NewApi") // Convert Date To This Format
    val convertDateTo = SimpleDateFormat("EEEE, dd MM yyyy", Locale.US)

    // Result - Wednesday, 12 02 2020
    val result = ""+parseDate("12/02/2020", resultFromDatePicker, convertDateTo)

    // Parsing Date
    @SuppressLint("NewApi")
    fun parseDate(
        inputDateString: String?,
        inputDateFormat: SimpleDateFormat,
        outputDateFormat: SimpleDateFormat
    ): String? {
        val date: Date?
        var outputDateString: String? = null
        try {
            date = inputDateFormat.parse(inputDateString)
            outputDateString = outputDateFormat.format(date)
        } catch (e: ParseException) {
            e.printStackTrace()
        }
        return outputDateString
    }
