Create a Calendar object to store the date, clear out the time fields, and then get the resulting date:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(dateYouWantToTruncate);
cal.clear(Calendar.HOUR);
cal.clear(Calendar.MINUTE);
cal.clear(Calendar.SECOND);
cal.clear(Calendar.MILLISECOND);
Date dateOnly = cal.getTime();

If you just want to print out the date use this:

    DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(new Date());

or

    DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT).format(new Date());
