Android Calendar Set Am or Pm time not 24 Hour

Question

I have a script at the moment that is always being passed the time in an AM PM format. But I do not know how to set the calendar with this time as it only accepts 24 hour format the way I have the code written. How would I convert the time to 24 hour or input a 12 hour format?

         calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, HourValue);
         calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, MinuteValue);
         calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
         calendar.add(Calendar.MINUTE, -356);

Answer 1

calendar.set(calendar.HOUR,HourValue) , instead of HOUR_OF_DAY so if you give a 24 hour input it converts it into 12 hour format

Answer 2

0 for am and 1 for pm Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); c.set(Calendar.YEAR, year); c.set(Calendar.MONTH, month); c.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, day); c.set(Calendar.AM_PM, 1); c.set(Calendar.HOUR, hour); c.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minute); c.set(Calendar.SECOND, 00); c.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 00);

Answer 3

int am_pm=c.get(Calendar.AM_PM);
String time=c.HOUR + ((am_pm==Calendar.AM)?"am":"pm"))

you can try the above.
