Convert time value to format “hh:mm Am/Pm” using Android

android, android-date, stringtokenizer

Solution

I got answer just doing like this.

startTime = "2013-02-27 21:06:30";
StringTokenizer tk = new StringTokenizer(startTime);
String date = tk.nextToken();  
String time = tk.nextToken();

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");
SimpleDateFormat sdfs = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a");
Date dt;
try {    
    dt = sdf.parse(time);
    System.out.println("Time Display: " + sdfs.format(dt)); // <-- I got result here
} catch (ParseException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Problem

I am getting date value from database like "2013-02-27 06:06:30" using StringTokenizer I will get time separately like below ``` String startTime = "2013-02-27 06:06:30"; StringTokenizer token = new StringTokenizer(startTime); String date1 = token.nextToken(); String time1 = token.nextToken(); ``` and in time1 I am getting the result 06:06:30, Can I re-store it in another variable of type String as follows? ``` String displayValue = "06:06 AM"; ``` And if time1 variable has the value of ``` String time = 16:00:00; ``` then it should be converted to: ``` String displayValue = "04:00 PM"; ```
