Android Get Current Time and Date

For getting current (today) date and time in android application, we used calendar class get the current instance of android phone clock.
After getting calendar class object, we required a formatted object for date and time.

 
  Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
  SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd:MMMM:yyyy HH:mm:ss a");
  String strDate = sdf.format(c.getTime()); 
  System.out.println("================>>>"+strDate);
