minute

I am writing an application where the user needs to specify a given point in time, but i can't seem to figure out how to set the minute values that the user can choose from, to only use increments of 5 instead of increments of 1. Simply put, when the user scrolls through the available amounts, he/she must only see 0,5,10,15 etc. Thank you in advance. To ensure you're compatible with API 21+, make sure your TimePicker has the following attribute: android:timePickerMode="spinner" Then here's how you can set an interval programmatically. This method falls back on the standard TimePicker if the

I need to format my time string such as this: int time = 160; Here's my sample code: public static String formatDuration(String minute) { String formattedMinute = null; SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("mm"); try { Date dt = sdf.parse(minute); sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH mm"); formattedMinute = sdf.format(dt); } catch (ParseException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return formattedMinute; // int minutes = 120; // int h = minutes / 60 + Integer.parseInt(minute); // int m = minutes % 60 + Integer.parseInt(minute); // return h + "hr " + m + "mins"; } I need to display it as 2hrs 40mins.

As I know getHours() , getMinutes() and getSeconds() are all deprecated in Java and they are replaced with Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY , Calendar.MINUTE , Calendar.SECOND . These will in fact return the hour, minute and second for that particular moment. However, I would want to retrieved the hours and minutes from a Date variable. For instance, say the time retrieved from database is time = Thu Jan 01 09:12:18 CET 1970; int hours = time.getHours(); int minutes = time.getMinutes(); int seconds = time.getSeconds(); By retrieving the hours, minutes, and seconds, I get hours = 9 minutes = 12 seconds =

I've got an amount of seconds that passed from a certain event. It's stored in a NSTimeInterval data type. I want to convert it into minutes and seconds . For example I have: "326.4" seconds and I want to convert it into the following string: "5:26". What is the best way to achieve this goal? Thanks. pseudo-code: minutes = floor(326.4/60) seconds = round(326.4 - minutes * 60) Brief Description The answer from Brian Ramsay is more convenient if you only want to convert to minutes. If you want Cocoa API do it for you and convert your NSTimeInterval not only to minutes but also to days, months,

I want to parse a hh:mm:ss string. A simple one is ([0-1]?\d|2[0-3]):([0-5]?\d):([0-5]?\d) which expects 2:3:24 or 02:03:24 string. I want to take it a step further and pass the validation even in cases like if you enter just 56, it should be pass, as 56 can be considered as 56 secs [SS] if you enter 2:3 or 02:03 or 02:3 or 2:03 it should pass. 2 minutes and 3 seconds [MM:SS] If you enter 20:30:12 pass with 20 hrs, 30 minutes and 12 secs [HH:MM:SS] if you enter 78:12 , do not pass 78 minutes is wrong.... Basically, if one ":" is found, consider number before ":" as MM and number after ":" as
