Set the month format as MMMM, while including the date-time format in SimpleDateFormat object.Firstly, set the date objectDate dt = new Date();Now, set the format for date-timeSimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE MMMM dd yyyy kk:mm:ss");Display the date with the format you wantdateFormat.format(dt)The following is an exampleExample Live Demoimport java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {       Date dt = new Date();       SimpleDateFormat dateFormat;       dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE MMMM dd yyyy kk:mm:ss");       System.out.println(dateFormat.format(dt));    } }OutputThursday November 22 2018 11:45:14

Use the SimpleDateFormat class to display time in 24-hour format.Set the formatDate dt = new Date(); SimpleDateFormat dateFormat; dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("kk:mm:ss");Now, the following will display time in 24-hour formatdateFormat.format(dt)The following is an exampleExample Live Demoimport java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {       Date dt = new Date();       SimpleDateFormat dateFormat;       dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("kk:mm:ss");       System.out.println("Time in 24 hr format = "+dateFormat.format(dt));    } }OutputTime in 24 hr format = 11:40:52

To list short weekday names, use the getShortWeekdays() from the DateFormatSymbols class in Java.DateFormatSymbols is a class for encapsulating localizable date-time formatting data.Get short weekday names in an arrayString[] days = new DateFormatSymbols().getShortWeekdays();Display the weekdayfor (int i = 0; i < days.length; i++) { String weekday = days[i]; System.out.println(weekday); }The following is an example −Example Live Demoimport java.text.DateFormatSymbols; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       String[] days = new DateFormatSymbols().getShortWeekdays();       for (int i = 0; i < days.length; i++) {          String weekday = days[i];          System.out.println(weekday);       }    } }OutputSun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
