How to set TimePicker show with format 24h

Question

I\'ve created a TimePicker in layout and I want it to show time with format 24h.

Can you help me? Thanks.

Answer 1

TimePicker is a view for selecting the time of day, in either 24 hour or AM/PM mode. You can use setIs24HourView(true) method with TimePicker.

Answer 2

xml

<TimePicker
        android:layout_width="300dp"
        android:layout_height="300dp"
        android:id="@+id/timePicker" />

java

TimePicker timePicker = (TimePicker) findViewById(R.id.timePicker);    
timePicker.setIs24HourView(true); 

Answer 3

As some people have already mentioned just set the parameter to true or false.

timePicker.setIs24HourView(true);

You can find a complete example with source code to download from here http://www.ahotbrew.com/android-timepicker-example/

Answer 4

You just have to retrieve the TimePicker instance from the view after inflating it, then you can modify the widget.

Ids are arbitrary:

View v=getActivity().getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.dialog_time, null);
TimePicker timePicker=(TimePicker)v.findViewById(R.id.dialog_time_timePicker);
timePicker.setIs24HourView(true);

Answer 5

If you want the TimePicker to be correctly initialized with the current time in 24h format use the following:

import java.util.Calendar;

timePicker.setIs24HourView(true);
timePicker.setCurrentHour(Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY));

Otherwise, due to Android bug, the picker will start with an incorrect hour (2 instead of 14 etc).

Answer 6

You just need call and send true to setIs24HourView function.

TimePicker tpHourMin = (TimePicker) findViewById(R.id.timePicker);
tpHourMin.setIs24HourView(true);
