How to get current hours in 24 hrs format in Android?

Question

I am having some trouble using the calendar class in android. How can I get the current time in 24 format?

Answer 1

Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance();

if You want 12 Hour Format Use - c1.set(Calendar.HOUR, new Date().getHours());

if You want 24 Hour Format Use - c1.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, new Date().getHours());

Answer 2

Use Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY for getting hour in 24 format

Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
int currentHour = rightNow.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
