Convert time value to format “hh:mm Am/Pm” using Android

Question

I am getting date value from database like "2013-02-27 06:06:30" using StringTokenizer I will get time separately like below

String startTime = "2013-02-27 06:06:30";  StringTokenizer token = new StringTokenizer(startTime); String date1 = token.nextToken();   String time1 = token.nextToken();  

and in time1 I am getting the result 06:06:30,

Can I re-store it in another variable of type String as follows?

String displayValue = "06:06 AM"; 

And if time1 variable has the value of

String time = 16:00:00; 

then it should be converted to:

String displayValue = "04:00 PM"; 

Answer 1

Try this..

Date dt = new Date(date1); SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm aa"); String time1 = sdf.format(dt); 

Answer 2

I got answer just doing like this.

startTime = "2013-02-27 21:06:30"; StringTokenizer tk = new StringTokenizer(startTime); String date = tk.nextToken();   String time = tk.nextToken();  SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss"); SimpleDateFormat sdfs = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a"); Date dt; try {         dt = sdf.parse(time);     System.out.println("Time Display: " + sdfs.format(dt)); // <-- I got result here } catch (ParseException e) {     e.printStackTrace(); }
