I'm trying to get the actual month from the Calendar using the following:
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
String time = String.valueOf(c.get(Calendar.MONTH));
According the system settings "Settings --> Date & Time" actual month is 10 while get(Calendar.MONTH) returns 09.
835
set(int, int, int, int, int, int) method sets the values for the calendar fields YEAR, MONTH,DAY_OF_MONTH,HOUR_OF_DAY,MINUTE and SECOND.
Calendar , too) are not officially deprecated, just declared as de facto legacy. The support of the old classes is still important for the goal of backwards compatibility with legacy code.
The major difference between GregorianCalendar and Calendar classes are that the Calendar Class being an abstract class cannot be instantiated. So an object of the Calendar Class is initialized as: Calendar cal = Calendar. getInstance();
GregorianCalendar is a concrete subclass of Calendar and provides the standard calendar system used by most of the world.
Keep in mind that months values start from 0, so October is actually month number 9.

Calendar.MONTH returns month which is zero based that is why it is giving 1 less than actual month
Add 1 to get correct value
String time = String.valueOf(c.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1);
Calendar.MONTH
returns
0 for 1st month (jan)
1 for 2nd month (feb)
.
.
11 for 12th month (dec)

So change your code to
String time = String.valueOf(c.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1);// added 1
