As an aside consider throwing away the long outmoded and notoriously troublesome `SimpleDateFormat` and its also outdated friend `Calendar`, and adding [ThreeTenABP](https://github.com/JakeWharton/ThreeTenABP) to your Android project in order to use `java.time`, the modern Java date and time API. It is so much nicer to work with. — Ole V.V., Aug 25 '18 at 07:13
Also check the case of your format pattern letters. Uppercase `YYYY` will give you unpleasant surprises. — Ole V.V., Aug 25 '18 at 07:14

You are assigning static value of field . Whereas you have to get the value at field from Calender . So your code should look like as:

  Calendar calendar=Calendar.getInstance();
  Calendario.gprec=calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
  Calendario.mprec=calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);
  Calendario.aprec=calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
