Android: How to Format Date and Time Strings correctly?

Issue

How should I correctly format Date and Time Strings for the Android platform?

Here is some code:

String path = getFilesDir().getPath();
String filePath = path + "/somefile.xml";
File file = new File(filePath);
Date lastModDate = new Date(file.lastModified());
String filelastModDate = "Updated: " + lastModDate.toString();

Solution

You can format it various way...

Date date = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("h:mm a");
String currentTime = sdf.format(date);

Here you can put other format like

k:mm

h:mm

h:mm dd/MM/yyyy
etc.....
