How can I format a Date in JavaME on a celphone application?

Question

Here's my code:

Date aux = new Date();
TextField txtFecha = new TextField("Fecha:", aux.toString(dd/mon/yyyy), 50, TextField.ANY);

I'm trying to get my date to format like: "20/4/2010"

Thank you!

You'll have to use java.util.Calendar and parse it by hand on your own. There are no library classes to help you out.

Date today = new Date();
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(today);
int month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;  // Java months start with Jan = 0,..., Dec = 11
int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DATE);
int year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);

String dateStr = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;
