Hi,

Following sample code will help you in getting the formatted date:

package net.roseindia;

import java.text.DateFormat; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date;

public class CurrentDateFormat {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
        DateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
        Date currentDate = new java.util.Date();//Current date
        String sDate = fmt.format(currentDate);
        System.out.println("Formatted Current Date:" + sDate);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Exception :" + e);
    }
}

}

The code:

DateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");

formats the date into yyyy-MM-dd format. the MM is used for getting the month part of the date.

Thanks
