Display Month in MMMM format in Java

The MMMM format for months is like entire month name: January, February, March, etc. We will use it like this.

SimpleDateFormat("MMM");

Let us see an example.

// displaying month in MMMM format SimpleDateFormat simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM"); String strMonth= simpleformat.format(new Date()); System.out.println("Month in MMMM format = "+strMonth);

Above, we have used the SimpleDateFormat class, therefore the following package is imported.

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

The following is an example.

Example

 Live Demo

import java.text.Format; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; import java.util.Calendar; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {       // displaying current date and time       Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();       SimpleDateFormat simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("E, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss");       System.out.println("Date and time = "+simpleformat.format(cal.getTime()));       // displaying date       simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MMMM/yyyy");       String str = simpleformat.format(new Date());       System.out.println("Current Date = "+str);       // displaying month in MMMM format       simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM");       String strMonth= simpleformat.format(new Date());       System.out.println("Month in MMMM format = "+strMonth);       // current time       simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH.mm.ss");       String strTime = simpleformat.format(new Date());       System.out.println("Current Time = "+strTime);    } }

Output

Date and time = Mon, 26 Nov 2018 10:46:10 Current Date = 26/November/2018 Month in MMMM format = November Current Time = 10.46.10
