Java: How to know it is AM or PM using Time / DateFormat in java.

Code Example:

import java.text.*;

import java.util.*;

import java.util.StringTokenizer;

class DateFormatDemo {

public static void main(String args[]) {

Date date = new Date();

DateFormat df;

df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);

System.out.println(“\n”);

System.out.println(“Short form: ” + df.format(date));

df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG);

System.out.println(“Long form: ” + df.format(date));

System.out.println();

df = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);

System.out.println(“Short form: ” + df.format(date));

df = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.LONG);

System.out.println(“Long form: ” + df.format(date));

String daate=df.format(date).toString();

System.out.println(“\n”);

StringTokenizer st_time=new StringTokenizer(daate,” “);

                         String timeStr[] = new String[7];

                         int i=0;

                         while ( st_time.hasMoreElements()) {

                         timeStr[i++] = st_time.nextToken();   

                         }

System.out.println(“It is AM or PM ?:”+timeStr[1]);

}

}
