Android Date Picker (Getting current Date)

Question

Could anyone show me how to get the curent date after clicking a button so that I could do something with it for example if you could get the year you could say somthing like this

if year % 4 = 0
{
    it's a leap year
}

I also have a few other ideas for it.

Answer 1

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
final String TYPE = "YYYY";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(TYPE);
String currentyear = sdf.format(cal.getTime());

Answer 2

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
int year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);

Alternative try this to get the current year.

Answer 3

Or alternately to above, if an int is more convenient,

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
int year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
