i able to split after space it become “2013-1-31 08” and “25 PM”

now i want the “2013-1-31” and “08”

String view_datee = view_date.getText().toString();

               String[] separated = view_datee.split(":");
               String first =separated[0];
               String second=separated[1]; 


               String[] newSeperated = first.split(" ");
               String third = newSeperated[0]; 
               String four=   newSeperated[1];



               Log.i("first",first);
               Log.i("second",second);

               Log.i("third", third);
               Log.i("four", four);

I do not how to get the four value means 08 .

Answer 1

Here is an example using a date / calendar (it uses desktop java but easily transposable):

public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
    String data = "2013-1-31 08:25 PM";
    DateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm a");
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.setTime(fmt.parse(data));
    //2013-1-31
    System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-M-dd").format(cal.getTime()));
    //20
    System.out.println(cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY));
    //08
    System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("hh").format(cal.getTime()));
}

Note that 08:25 PM is 20:05 so you can get either 08 or 20 depending on what you need. I showed both in my example.
