android - Java Dates - What's the correct class to use?

So the whole Java Date/Calendar/GregorianCalendar thing is obviously a joke. What's the right Date class to use?

Edit: Building an SDK for third parties on Android where the application needs to provide a date

More Edit: Things that make this so obviously a joke:

  • 99% of Date is deprecated
  • Date's Year is offset from 1900
  • Date's Month is zero-indexed while day is one-indexed
  • Dates are mutable
  • You're supposed to use a Calendar to create a date...
  • ... except you really have to use a GregorianCalendar
    • Do a significant percent of developers want to use a different calendar?
  • Calendar.getTime() returns a Date
  • There's no Date math (like how far apart are two dates in years)
    • Messing with milliseconds since epoch doesn't count
  • You can't chain parts together to get an expression (like the date one year ago today)
  • Probably more stuff

Joda-Time. Even on Android.

If you want to stick to Java SE classes, it depends on what you're trying to do.

Edit: You keep changing your question. Date and Calendar.
