Firstly, set the format with SimpleDateFormat class
Format dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd/MM/yyyy");
Above, the “EEE” is set to display the name of the day i.e. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.
Now, to display the date −
String res = dateFormat.format(new Date());
The following is an example −
import java.text.Format; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; public class Demo { public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception { Format dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd/MM/yyyy"); String res = dateFormat.format(new Date()); System.out.println("Date = " + res); } }
Date = Thu, 22/11/2018
