how to get month value against number?

Question

My code returns the current month as a number, for instance, if the month is July, the code will display 7 (see image link). http://imgur.com/Rvf8QYp How do I print the months name against its number?

 public void showOnScreen() {


    date_today.setText(mYear + "Years" + mMonth + "Month");
    e00.setText("" + a[0][0]);
    e01.setText("" + a[0][1]);
    e02.setText("" + a[0][2]);
    e03.setText("" + a[0][3]);
    e04.setText("" + a[0][4]);
    e05.setText("" + a[0][5]);
    e06.setText("" + a[0][6]);

}

you can use switch cases to get month name based on its number — Babak Fakhriloo, Jul 28 '13 at 20:07
how????????? i did if (mMonth ==1) { Monthname="January"; } Type mismatch: cannot convert from String to int - Syntax error on token "==", invalid AssignmentOperator — user2619496, Jul 28 '13 at 20:20
@persianDev: rough solution, but it works. For elegance, lift the code into a method like monthToString and handle appropriately. — Prime, Jul 28 '13 at 21:38

Of the Java.util.Calendar class the method getDisplayName:

Calendar calendar = new Calendar();
String date_plaintext = calendar.getDisplayName(mMonth, Calendar.LONG, Locale.US);
date_today.setText(date_plaintext+ ", " + mYear);
