I'm trying to create a string with the current date, with this code:
Calendar currentDate=Calendar.getInstance();
string date=""+currentDate.get (java.util.Calendar.MONTH)+"-"+currentDate.get(java.util.Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)+"-"+currentDate.get(java.util.Calendar.YEAR);

It gives me the correct year and day, but the month is 1 month behind for some reason. I looked at the clock/date on the emulator and it says may 11, 2010, but the string from my code gives me 4-11-2010. What could be the problem? It may not be an emulator problem because it gives me the same wrong date on an actual device also.

Month number is zero relative. Jan is 0, Feb is 1, and etc.
