you can use

String day = android.text.format.DateFormat.format("dd.MM.yyyy",
                     new java.util.Date()).toString();

Better you store all the values in the database. Create columns like receivedmsgs, sentmsgs, receivedtime, senttime,yourmobile,tomobile.

So when you send sms store all the values in the database, and using the yournummber you can get the sent and received messages so on....

Store the UNIX Epoch timestamp of the message. It fits in a long variable and very easy to convert between various date formats and even easier to run complex queries.

Eg.

SELECT * from smsTable WHERE timeStamp > %System.currentTimeMillis()% - 24L*60*60*1000

Gives you all entries for the previous 24 hours.

I'll also add, that's what the native application does.
