Displaying the Time in AM/PM format in android

Question

I am getting the time using a time picker and displaying the time in the text view using following code...

private TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener mTimeSetListener = new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener() {
    public void onTimeSet(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int minute) {
        Toast.makeText(SendMail.this, "Your Appointment time is "+hourOfDay+":"+minute,    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        TextView datehid = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.timehidden);
        datehid.setText(String.valueOf(hourOfDay)+ ":"+(String.valueOf(minute)));
    }
};

Now, the issue is when i set the time as 8:00 pm then i get the time displayed as 20:0... I want to display the time as 8:00 pm... How can i do that???

Answer 1

private String getReminingTime() {
    String delegate = "hh:mm aaa";
    return (String) DateFormat.format(delegate,Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
}

Answer 2

Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
if(now.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == Calendar.AM){
   // AM
   System.out.println(""+now.get(Calendar.HOUR)+":AM");
}else{
   // PM
   System.out.println(""+now.get(Calendar.HOUR)+":PM");
}
