I have edit text field and I have a method that handles onclick event on edit field and show up a date picker dialog. However I want to change date format in the dialog . It shows Aug 31 2014, I like to show 31 08 2014. Is it possible?

This question has been answered elsewhere on the site, here for example. Basically the datepicker dialog shows up in the preferred format of the end user, so if they have their phone or emulator set to mm/dd/yyyy it will show up like that, if you want it to come up dd/mm/yyyy while you are testing it make sure your emulator is set up with that as the preferred date format.

In DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener you will get onDateSet method where you can get 

int year = selectedYear;
int month = selectedMonth;
int day = selectedDay;

dateCalendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
    dateCalendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, month);
    dateCalendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, day);
String monthname =  new SimpleDateFormat("MMM").format(dateCalendar.getTime());

in SimpleDateFormat you can change date format as you want
