How to get the current system date in a string - ANDROID

Question

How can i get the current date in a string in Android?

I know that it's gettable using

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
String formatDate = df.format(c.getTime());

But i get it as 25-Mar-2014, and what i want is 25-3-2014. Thanks.
