android: datepicker with italian date

Question

I've got a "normal" DatePicker that is made like this:

// funzioni del datepicker
protected DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mDateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
    public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
        mYear = year;
        mMonth = monthOfYear;
        mDay = dayOfMonth;
    }
};
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
    return new DatePickerDialog(this.getParent(),mDateSetListener,mYear, mMonth, mDay);
}

and I call showDialog(0); to expose this.

It works, but the date is in the yyyy-mm-dd format. I need to change it in the dd-mm-yyyy format. Also, can i add the hour and minutes to this?

// Converting Date format from (YYYY_MM-DD) to (DD-MM-YYYY)

private String convertDate(String cdate)
{
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
SimpleDateFormat postFormater = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
Date convertedDate;    
convertedDate = dateFormat.parse(cdate);
cdate = postFormater.format(convertedDate);
return cdate;
}
