Thanks in advance to all.

I think you want to change date in a 18th, 2nd, 1st, 3rd dated way, if i am not wrong then you can use simpleDateFormat class to convert date in different formats.

Before using SimpleDateFormat, just refer the SDK documentation: http://developer.android.com/reference/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html.

To have day number with nd, th, rd (i.e. 2nd, 4th, 3rd, etc.), you can use:

F - day of week in month (Number) - 2 (2nd Wed in July) (given in the documentation).

For example using SimpleDateFormat:

String dateStr = "03/08/2010"; 

SimpleDateFormat curFormater = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); 
Date dateObj = curFormater.parse(dateStr); 
SimpleDateFormat postFormater = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM dd, yyyy"); 

String newDateStr = postFormater.format(dateObj); 

This is the term you are looking for: Quantity Strings (Plurals)

here is a link for it in the documentation: Plurals

Here is a link with examples:

Hope this helps. so you just need to reformat the string with the date by using the examples provided and thats it.
