Question

I am trying to get the present time in this format in an android app. time= "05:09pm 08/02/2011" Right now I am using Calendar c=Calendar.getInstance() and c.getTime() to get the time and its coming out as Tue Aug 23 02:34:25 PDT 2011.

You need to use the DateFormat Class
Something like this will get you the current time in the format you desire.

DateFormat.format("hh:mmaa dd/MM/yyyy", System.currentTimeMillis());
