SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE', 'MMMM d', ' yyyy");

Should do it (one 'd' instead of two)?

Is it possible to remove the "0" in January 04, 2012?

I am currently using the following Java to get the date format like

Monday, January 04, 2012

I would like for it to look like

Monday, January 4, 2012

    Date anotherCurDate = new Date();

    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE', 'MMMM dd', ' yyyy");  
    final String formattedDateString = formatter.format(anotherCurDate);

 final TextView currentRoomDate = (TextView)  this.findViewById(R.id.CurrentDate);

Of course it would be that easy. I figured there was going to be some post process to fix it. Thanks I will test now.

Hehe, it's called 'simple' date formatter for a reason ;) I added a link to the documentation for it, in case you haven't seen it.

The explicit use of single format specifiers is articulated in this Oracle tutorial... docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/format/…
