Here is an example that should help you:

Calendar today = Calendar.getInstance();
Calendar expireDate = Calendar.getInstance();

expireDate.set(2011, Calendar.AUGUST, 12);

if (today.compareTo(expireDate) == 0 || today.compareTo(expireDate) == 1)

{
// expired - please purchase app

}
else
{
// do some stuff
}

To tell if it is AM or PM use:

int value = today.get(Calendar.AM_PM);

Or you could just get the hour:

int hour = today.get(Calendar.HOUR);

And then put that in an if statement:

if (hour > 12)
{

// do stuff

}
else
{
// do other stuff
}
