What i would like to do is just get the days number such as 29, or 30. Which ever day of the month it is.

Answer 1

You'll want to do get a Calendar instance and get it's day of month

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); int dayOfMonth = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);  String dayOfMonthStr = String.valueOf(dayOfMonth); 

You can also get DAY_OF_WEEK, DAY_OF_YEAR, DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH, etc.

Answer 2

The following method would help you in finding day of any specified date :

public static int getDayOfMonth(Date aDate) {     Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();     cal.setTime(aDate);     return cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); }
