Standard datetime formatting in Android

Format a date:

Date date = new Date();
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM);
String localizedDate = df.format(date)

Format a date and time. Date is in short format, time is in long format:

Date date = new Date();
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, DateFormat.LONG);
String localizedDate = df.format(date)

Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea? Let me know.

Localized DateTime:

*Localized DateTime in Android

*Custom localized date format with DateUtils.formatDateTime

*Standard datetime formatting in Android

*Fully customized datetime
