The code snippet below demonstrates how you can convert the current date to the format as required by you.

final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
int mYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR); // current year
int mMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH); // current month
int mDay = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);// current day
String monthName = getMonthName(mMonth);
String dateInCorrectFormat = (mDay + monthName + ", " + mYear); // will display in format "22April, 2018"

The getMonthName method can be defined as follows:

public static String getMonthName(int month) {
    String[] monthNames = {"January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"};
    return monthNames[month];
}

String pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd";
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);

Date date = simpleDateFormat.parse("2012-12-24");

You can go here to format the date in your requested format.
