  Hi, 

  Please excuse me for the off-topic question, I need this urgently, so 
  posting it. 

  How can I get the current date format? (style: DateFormat.SHORT, locale: 
  Default) 

  I used: 

  SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat() ; 
  String format = formatter.toPattern() ; 

  It gives: 

  M/d/yy hh:mm a 

  But what I want is *only* the date part, excluding the time part of it. 

  Thanks, 
  Suresh
