Answer 1

Selected answer had an issue of showing wrong time. If your time is 12:30:00 it shows 12:30 AM instead 12:30 PM. The below code will help to overcome the issue.

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("KK:mm:ss");
SimpleDateFormat sdfs = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a");

    Date dt1 = null;

    try {
        dt1 = sdf.parse("12:00:00");
        Log.i("Time in Am Pm  ", sdfs.format(dt1));

    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Answer 2

Try this..

Date dt = new Date(date1);
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm aa");
String time1 = sdf.format(dt);

Answer 3

Try this

 String time = "22:35";

try {
     SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("H:mm");
     Date dateObj = sdf.parse(time);
    System.out.println(dateObj);
    System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("K:mm").format(dateObj));
} catch (final ParseException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Just use the following pattern you will get your expected result:

    try {
        String time = "06:06:30";
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");
        Date dt = sdf.parse(time);

        SimpleDateFormat sdfs = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a");
        String formatedTime = sdfs.format(dt);

        Log.v("parseTime", formatedTime);

    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Happy coding :)
