How to set time to 24 hour format in Calendar
calendar, java
Solution
Replace this:
c1.set(Calendar.HOUR, d1.getHours());
with this:
c1.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, d1.getHours());
Calendar.HOUR is strictly for 12 hours.
Problem
I need to set the time on the current date. The time string is always in 24 hour format but the result I get is wrong: ``` SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("kk:mm"); Date d1 = df.parse("10:30"); Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance(); c1.set(Calendar.HOUR, d1.getHours()); c1.set(Calendar.MINUTE, d1.getMinutes()); ``` The date should be today's date and the time set to 10:30. Instead the time in c1 ends up being 22:30. How can I force the calendar control to recognize my time is 24 hour format? EDIT: If I just do this: ``` Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance(); c1.set(Calendar.HOUR, 10); c1.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 30); ``` This gives me the same result. Why?
