You could add a method like this one

private static String formatDate(int year, int month, int day) {

    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.setTimeInMillis(0);
    cal.set(year, month, day);
    Date date = cal.getTime();
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MMM/yyyy");

    return sdf.format(date);
}

And then change one line in your code:

itt.setText(formatDate(yrr, monn, dayy));
