Answer 1

Use android.text.format.Time to the conversion. You can pass the time as text and it will return you the time in desired format by using timeInstance.format("");

you need to provide formatter.

Refer to following: Time : http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/format/Time.html Formatter: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/strftime.html

you can use any combination of formatter string to work with it :)
