You'll want to do get a Calendar instance and get it's day of month You can also get DAY_OF_WEEK, DAY_OF_YEAR, DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH, etc.

APIzation

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
int dayOfMonth = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

String dayOfMonthStr = String.valueOf(dayOfMonth);

package com.stackoverflow.api;

import java.util.Calendar;

public class Human7226186 {

  public static String getDayOfMonthAsString() {
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    int dayOfMonth = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

    return String.valueOf(dayOfMonth);
  }
}
