You can use the SimpleDateFormat class:

SimpleDateFormat s = new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMyyyyhhmmss");
String format = s.format(new Date());

You can create your own DateFormat object (store it statically) and use that in the same way:

dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMyyyyHHmmss");
String date = dateFormat.format(new Date());

Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance();      
String myfrmt = c1.get(Calendar.YEAR) + c1.get(Calendar.MONTH) + c1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + c1.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) + c1.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
