Answer 1

check the API Docs for SimpleDateFormat - particularly the format method. public StringFormatFromDate(Date date){
      try {
          java.text.SimpleDateFormat formatter
              = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy");
          return formatter.format(date);
      catch (Exception e) {
           // You really shouldn't catch Exception - and you really should do something in your catch
           // blocks so you don't post a question like "my code executes no problem, but nothing happens...
           e.printStackTrace();
      return null;
  }
