As I know getHours()
, getMinutes()
and getSeconds()
are all deprecated in Java and they are replaced with Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY
, Calendar.MINUTE
, Calendar.SECOND
.
These will in fact return the hour, minute and second for that particular moment. However, I would want to retrieved the hours and minutes from a Date variable. For instance,
say the time retrieved from database is
time = Thu Jan 01 09:12:18 CET 1970;
int hours = time.getHours();
int minutes = time.getMinutes();
int seconds = time.getSeconds();
By retrieving the hours, minutes, and seconds, I get
hours = 9
minutes = 12
seconds = 18
So, how do I use Calendar for this function? Although the getHours()
has been deprecated but it still worked. I would still like to know if there is an alternative to this.
Try this:
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(yourdate);
int hours = calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
int minutes = calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
int seconds = calendar.get(Calendar.SECOND);
Edit:
hours, minutes, seconds
above will be the hours, minutes and seconds after converting yourdate
to System Timezone!
