Below function may be useful to you. This will convert time from 24 hours to 12 hours

public static String Convert24to12(String time)
{
    String convertedTime ="";
    try {
        SimpleDateFormat displayFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a");
        SimpleDateFormat parseFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
        Date date = parseFormat.parse(time);        
        convertedTime=displayFormat.format(date);
        System.out.println("convertedTime : "+convertedTime);
    } catch (final ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return convertedTime;
    //Output will be 10:23 PM
}
