Question

I had written a function for Adding time as given below

private void Delay15Minute() {
        String pkManifest = manifest.pkManifestNo;
        manifest_helper = new manifest_helper(this);
        cursor = manifest_helper.GetDeliveries(pkManifest);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        for (int i = 0; i < cursor.getCount(); i++) {
            cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("PKDelivery"));
            // String
            // RevisedTime=cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("RevisedEstimatedDeliveryTime"));
            String RevisedTime = "12:55";

            // get hour and minute from time string
            StringTokenizer st1 = new StringTokenizer(RevisedTime, ":");
            int j = 0;
            int[] val = new int[st1.countTokens()];
            // iterate through tokens
            while (st1.hasMoreTokens()) {
                val[j] = Integer.parseInt(st1.nextToken());
                j++;
            }
            // call time add method with current hour, minute and minutesToAdd,
            // return added time as a string
            String date = addTime(val[0], val[1], 15);
            // Tioast the new time
            Toast.makeText(this, "date is =" + date, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        }
            }



public String addTime(int hour, int minute, int minutesToAdd) {
        Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(1990, 1, 1, hour, minute);
        calendar.add(Calendar.MINUTE, minutesToAdd);
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm");
        String date = sdf.format(calendar.getTime());

        return date;
    }

I am getting the oupt of this as 01:10 as 12 hours fromat…

I need to get it in 13:10 format ie 24 hour format…..Please help me

You used hh in your SimpleDateFormat pattern. Thats the 12 hour format. Use kk instead, that gives you the hours of the day in a 24 hour format. See SimpleDateFormat.
