TimePickerDialog and AM or PM

Question

I have a TimePickerDialog with is24Hour set to false since I want to present the end-user with the more familiar 12 hour format. When the hour, minute and AM PM indicator are set and the time is returned how can I identify whether the end-user has selected AM or PM?

This is what I have for the listener:

private TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener mTimeSetListener =
      new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener() {

    @Override
    public void onTimeSet(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, 
      int minute) {
     mHour = hourOfDay;
     mMinute = minute;
    // mIsAM = WHERE CAN I GET THIS VALUE
    }
};

Answer 1

The hourOfDay will always be 24-hour. If you opened the dialog with is24HourView set to false, the user will not have to deal with 24-hour formatted times, but Android will convert that to a 24-hour time when it calls onTimeSet().

Answer 2

This worked for me:

public void onTimeSet(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int minute) {
    String am_pm = "";

    Calendar datetime = Calendar.getInstance();
    datetime.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hourOfDay);
    datetime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minute);

    if (datetime.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == Calendar.AM)
        am_pm = "AM";
    else if (datetime.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == Calendar.PM)
        am_pm = "PM";

    String strHrsToShow = (datetime.get(Calendar.HOUR) == 0) ?"12":datetime.get(Calendar.HOUR)+""; 

    ((Button)getActivity().findViewById(R.id.btnEventStartTime)).setText( strHrsToShow+":"+datetime.get(Calendar.MINUTE)+" "+am_pm );
}

a neat toast message with what user selected showing proper HH:MM format

    public void onTimeSet(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int minute) {
        String AM_PM = " AM";
        String mm_precede = "";
        if (hourOfDay >= 12) {
            AM_PM = " PM";
            if (hourOfDay >=13 && hourOfDay < 24) {
                hourOfDay -= 12;
            }
            else {
                hourOfDay = 12;
            }
        } else if (hourOfDay == 0) {
            hourOfDay = 12;
        }
        if (minute < 10) {
            mm_precede = "0";
        }
        Toast.makeText(mContext, "" + hourOfDay + ":" + mm_precede + minute + AM_PM, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
