Question

I wrote the following code to get the time

public String getTime() {
    final Calendar cld = Calendar.getInstance();
    String time = cld.get(Calendar.HOUR) + ":" + (cld.get(Calendar.MINUTE));
    try {
        Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm").parse(time);
        time = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm").format(date);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return time;
}

This always give me time like

11:59

01:07

But I need in 24 hrs format like:

11:59

13:07

How to change the code.

Answer 1

Use HOUR_OF_DAY instead of HOUR.
