Answer 1

If you want to display current date from a date picker, you can do it like so:

public DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener pickerListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {

        @Override
        public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int selectedYear,
                              int selectedMonth, int selectedDay) {

            Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
            calendar.set(selectedYear,selectedMonth,selectedDay);
            editday.setText(new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy").format(calendar.getTime()));

        }
};

Replace your method with this.

public DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener pickerListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {

    @Override
    public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int selectedYear,
            int selectedMonth, int selectedDay) {

        Calendar calNow = Calendar.getInstance();
        Calendar calSet = (Calendar) calNow.clone();

        calSet.set(Calendar.DATE, selectedDay);
        calSet.set(Calendar.MONTH, selectedMonth);
        calSet.set(Calendar.YEAR, selectedYear);

        long time_val = calSet.getTimeInMillis();

        String formatted_date = (DateFormat.format("MM:d:yyyy", time_val))
                .toString();

        date.setText(formatted_date);


    }
};

Play with these Symbols for desired output I hope this would help you.
