Try this   val date   Calendar getInstance   time val formatter   SimpleDateFormat getDateTimeInstance     or use getDateInstance   val formatedDate   formatter format date    You can use your own pattern as well  e g    val sdf   SimpleDateFormat  yyyy MM dd      2020 02 02   To get local formatting use getDateInstance    getDateTimeInstance    or getTimeInstance    or use new SimpleDateFormat String template  Locale locale  with for example Locale US for ASCII dates   The first three options require API level 29
