How do I convert dateformat from Date to April 19th or April 22nd

Question

Is there a way to convert the date object into String. For example,

Date date = ......... ;

date.toString shows something like Wed April 17 00:00:00.0 CEST 2016"

and I want to display as only April 17th, removing extra informations.

Use SimpleDateFormat:

String strDate = new SimpleDatFormat("MMM dd").format(date);

as for st/rd/th you will need to add it manually, e.g. by doing if and appending those to the strDate.
