Record date(Book closure date)  - date that you have to officially own the shares in order to receive the dividend
Ex - dividend - usually 2 to 4 trading days (depending on time taken by a trade to be completely fufilled in the exchange) prior to record date.
Its simple as this: You wont get the dividend if you buy on the ex-dividend dates (But one who sells it on a ex dividend date having bought the share atleast a day before theex dividend date will still be entitled for the dividend).
Happy trading!

XD means the stock is trading  ex-dividend. In short, current stockholder has received a recent dividend payment and whoever purchases the stock during XD will not receive the dividend.
