Check if you can use SimpleDateFormat. If you can, create an object of this class, and use it in order to format the return provided by System.currentTimeMillis(). Some code below:

import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;

public class DateTest {
  public static String getCurrentTimeStamp() {
       SimpleDateFormat formDate = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");

       // String strDate = formDate.format(System.currentTimeMillis()); // option 1
       String strDate = formDate.format(new Date()); // option 2
       return strDate;
  } 
  public static void main (String args[]) {
       System.out.println(getCurrentTimeStamp());
  }
}
