I can get the time and turn it into string using:

public static final String TIME_FORMAT = "h:mm a";
       SimpleDateFormat dateTimeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(TIME_FORMAT);

String getstring = dateTimeFormat.format(when.gettime();

but how do i get am/pm from it and turn it into string beccause i need it?

Answer 1

try this

Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
int a = now.get(Calendar.AM_PM);
if(a == Calendar.AM)
   System.out.println("AM"+now.get(Calendar.HOUR));

Answer 2

This should work:

private TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener mTimeSetListener =
 new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener()

{

public void onTimeSet(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int minute) {
TextView datehid = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.timehidden);
if(hourOfDay>12)
{

    datehid.setText(String.valueOf(hourOfDay-12)+ ":"+(String.valueOf(minute)+"pm"));
}
if(hourOfDay==12)
{
    datehid.setText("12"+ ":"+(String.valueOf(minute)+"pm"));
}
if(hourOfDay<12)
{
    datehid.setText(String.valueOf(hourOfDay)+ ":"+(String.valueOf(minute)+"am"));
}
}
};
