To get current date and time in Android, You can use:

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println("Current time => "+c.getTime());

Output:

Current time => Thu Nov 03 15:00:45 GMT+05:30 2011

FYI, once you have this time in 'c' object, you can use SimpleDateFormat class to get date/time in desired format.

Final Solution:

SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
Sring formattedDate = df.format(c.getTime());     // c is Calendar object
System.out.println("========> formatted date => "+formattedDate);

Output: ========> formatted date => 2011-11-03 15:13:37

Date now = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());

By the way : currentTimeMillis()

Returns the current system time in milliseconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC.

Use the Date class.

(What makes you think that's wrong? You're asking for the time in milliseconds.)

Yes This is the correct way to get the current time and date. afte that you need to convert it to desired format.

public static String getDateFromTimeStamp(String timeStamp){
        return new Date(Long.parseLong(timeStamp)).toString();
    }
