android - Converting String to Time using SimpleDateFormat issues

Question

So, I'm using SimpleDateFormat to convert a String which is "HH:MM AA" to "HH:MM", The problem is my code works fine on eclipse but when I run this on Android Studio it shows wrong output. Here are my both codes.

Answer 1

The problem is you are using "MM" as minutes but it should be "mm". "MM" is for months.

The part "HH" is fine when you want the 24 hour values back.

try soemthing like this:

public static String getTimeFormatted(String time){
    String s = "";
    try{
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm aa", Locale.US);
        Date d = sdf.parse(time);


        SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm", Locale.US);
        s = formatter.format(d);
    }
    catch(Exception ex){
        s = ex.getMessage();
    }
    return s;
}
