How to Change Date Format Using org.joda.time.LocalDate in Android Studio

In Android development, handling dates and times can sometimes be a tricky business, especially when the default format doesn’t meet your needs. One common issue developers face is converting date formats to make them user-friendly. Today, we'll explore a solution for changing the date format using the org.joda.time.LocalDate library in Android Studio.

The Problem

Imagine it's Tuesday, and you want to display the date of the previous Monday. Using Joda-Time, you can easily obtain this date; however, you might encounter an issue with the output format. By default, the date may appear in a format like 2021-05-24, and you want it reformatted to 24-5-2021. How can you achieve that?

The Solution

To address this issue, you need to utilize a date formatter. The Joda-Time library provides a straightforward way to customize the date format for your needs.

Step 1: Import the Required Package

Before you begin, ensure that you have Joda-Time included in your project. You would typically add it in your build.gradle file.

Step 2: Create a Date Formatter
