java get date marker field(am/pm)

Question

I need to get the field AM/PM in date object. How can i get it?

This is my code.

String startTime =\"01:05 PM\";
 SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDa         


        

Answer 1

Calendar is probably best, but you could use DateFormat, too:

String amPm = new SimpleDateFormat("aa").format(time);

The TimeZone caveat also applies here.
