I have a problem in convert time coming from server and I want to convert it to 24 hour. I'm using the following code:
String timeComeFromServer = "3:30 PM";
SimpleDateFormat date12Format = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a");
SimpleDateFormat date24Format = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");
try {
((TextView)findViewById(R.id.ahmad)).setText(date24Format.format(date12Format.parse(timeComeFromServer)));
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
There is the error:
Method threw 'java.text.ParseException' exception.)
Detailed error message is:
Unparseable date: "3:30 PM" (at offset 5)
But if I replace PM to p.m. it works without any problem like this:
timeComeFromServer = timeComeFromServer.replaceAll("PM", "p.m.").replaceAll("AM", "a.m.");
Can any one tell me which is the correct way?
