Answer 1

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); // get current time in a Calendar

then you can do lots with the Calendar instance, such as get the Hours or the Minutes - like:

int hour = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);

This is recommended when you have to localize to many locales, and print data in multiple formats, or do operations on dates.
