Answer 1

Use TextClock. this wil change dynamically without having a separate code.

        <TextClock
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:id="@+id/textClock"
            android:layout_weight="0.11"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            android:textSize="22sp"
            android:format24hours="hh:mm:ss a  EEE MMM d"/>

    TextClock textClock = (TextClock) findViewById(R.id.textClock);
    textClock.setFormat12Hour(null);
    //textClock.setFormat24Hour("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
    textClock.setFormat24Hour("hh:mm:ss a  EEE MMM d");
