Question

I am using the below code to set an alarm. I would like to output what the time for this would be. I don’t know if I going about this the wrong way. If I output the variable cal it has a long string of information. How do I extract only the hour and minutes?

    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    // add 5 minutes to the calendar object
    cal.add(Calendar.MINUTE, 464);

Answer 1

Use the get() method on your Calendar object, and use Calendar static constants for the needed field (hour, minute, etc…).

For example:

cal.get(Calendar.Minute);
