Using DateTime.DateFormat = "yyyyMMdd" I need to get todays date and yesterdays date.
log (DateTime.DateFormat = "yyyyMMdd")
Gives me 20130827 which is correct.

However while using the same dateFormat...
Tmpdate = DateTime.Add(DateTime.Now, 0, 0, -1)
Log(tmpdate)
gives me 1377498127481 but I expected 20130826

I would like to keep this simple with a few lines of code and not add any libraries such as DateUtils.

Your Log output was Yesterdays date in "Ticks" ....

B4X: 
 Dim Today, Yesterday As String
Dim TmpDate As Long

DateTime.DateFormat = "yyyyMMdd"
TmpDate = DateTime.Add(DateTime.Now, 0, 0, -1)
Today = DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now)
Yesterday = DateTime.Date(TmpDate)

Log (Today)
Log  (Yesterday)

Get Yesterdays Date
