Question

I have two function to calculate date and time.

  public static String getFormattedDate(String time) {
    long timeUnix = Long.parseLong(time);
    Date myDate = new Date(timeUnix * 1000);
    SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM d yy");
    return simpleDateFormat.format(myDate);
}

  public static String getFormattedTime(String time) {
    long timeUnix = Long.parseLong(time);
    Date myDate = new Date(timeUnix * 1000);
    SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");
    return simpleDateFormat.format(myDate);
}

I get the correct output from them which I need.

Jul 12 11(date function) and 12:09:45(time function)

How can I calculate days from this and how to set am/pm with this.

I am trying to set time with am/pm if it is today’s date and if it is older than show the day(mon,tue,wed etc.) and if it is more than week old than show “MMM d yy”.

Answer 1

For am/pm notation:

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("KK:mm:ss a");
return dateFormat.format(myDate);

KK is hour in am/pm (0-11), while HH is hour in day (0-23)
