How to add 10 minutes to my (String) time?

Question

I have this time:

String myTime = "14:10"; 

Now I want to add 10 minutes to this time, so that it would be 14:20

How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

Something like this

 String myTime = "14:10";  SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");  Date d = df.parse(myTime);   Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();  cal.setTime(d);  cal.add(Calendar.MINUTE, 10);  String newTime = df.format(cal.getTime()); 

As a fair warning there might be some problems if daylight savings time is involved in this 10 minute period.
