Convert String to Joda LocalTime format (HH:mm:ss) and Remove milliseconds

Question

DateTimeFormatter fmt = DateTimeFormat.forPattern(\"HH:mm:ss\");
LocalTime localTime = fmt.parseLocalTime(\"02:51:20\");
System.out.println(\"LocalTime:            \         


        

Answer 1

Yes - you just need to format when you print out. Currently you're just using the default toString() representation. If you're happy with the formatter you've already got, you can just use:

System.out.println("LocalTime:            " + fmt.print(localTime));

Answer 2

Fixed this using

DateTime time = new DateTime();
DateTimeFormatter format = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("HH:mm:ss");
String localTime = time != null ? format.print(new LocalTime(time.getHourOfDay(), 
time.getMinuteOfHour(), time.getSecondOfMinute())) : null;

DateTime and LocalTime are from joda

Answer 3

You can easily use your DateTimeFormetter print() method. Try like this;

    DateTimeFormatter fmt = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("HH:mm:ss");
    LocalTime localTime = fmt.parseLocalTime("02:51:20");
    System.out.println("LocalTime                        :  " + localTime);
    System.out.println("LocalTime with DateTimeFormatter :  " + fmt.print(localTime));

And the output is;

LocalTime                        :  02:51:20.000
LocalTime with DateTimeFormatter :  02:51:20
