Converting 24-hour clock time to am/pm in Joda-Time
java, jodatime
Solution
Look at the API documentation of `DateTimeFormat`. This should do what you want:
DateTimeFormatter builder = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss.SSa");
No need for the complication with different cases.
Problem
I just started working with Joda-Time, and got it to correctly display my date in 24-hour clock ("military time") but I would rather it be am/pm. Looked it up and it mentioned hourOfDay which I figured was the HH value so I tried to write a loop that would break it down into AM/Pm but it never worked out. ``` DateTime dtf = new DateTime(wikiParsedDate); if (hourOfDay == 00) { hourOfDay == 12; DateTimeFormatter builder = DateTimeFormat.forPattern( "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss.SS'AM" ); return builder.print(dtf); } else if (0 < hourOfDay && hourOfDay < 12) { DateTimeFormatter builder = DateTimeFormat.forPattern( "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss.SS'AM" ); return builder.print(dtf); } else if (hourOfDay > 12) { hourOfDay - 12 == hourOfDay; DateTimeFormatter builder = DateTimeFormat.forPattern( "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss.SS'PM" ); return builder.print(dtf); } } ```
