How to use the date format that was configured by default in the settings?

Question

As you probably know, you can set the date format in the settings of the Android device.

In the code, do we use this format to display the date?

Answer 1

Try android.text.format.DateFormat , especially getDateFormatOrder() to get your preferred user date format.

Answer 2

You can get both the date format and the time format as follows:

 DateFormat timeFormat; DateFormat dateFormat; dateFormat = android.text.format.DateFormat.getDateFormat(context); timeFormat = android.text.format.DateFormat.getTimeFormat(context);
