I would like to know how I can get only the time of a TimeStamp like the following:
From here I suppose that if I only take the time I should be given 20:00 PM (I do not want seconds).
I have also read online that people prefer to use Joda Time on the tools that Java already offers on their jdk.
How could I extract that information?
Using SimpleDateFormat and the appropriate pattern, in your case < strong> yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH: mm: ssZ so that with the parse method of DateFormat convert the java.lang.String to java.util.Date and then the suitable pattern HH: mm (Time of day (0-23)) or h: mm to (Time am / pm (1-12)), to convert the < em> java.util.Date in java.lang.String :
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ");
Date result;
try {
//Aqui se convierte en Date
result = df.parse("2018-11-20T20:00:00+0000");
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
System.out.println(sdf.format(result));
sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
System.out.println(sdf.format(result));
sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("h:mm a");
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
System.out.println(sdf.format(result));
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
This is the result:
2018-11-20 20:00:00
20:00
8:00 PM
