Question

What i am trying to do::

• Good morning (12am-12pm)
• Good after noon (12pm -4pm)
• Good evening

Answer 1

When I write

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
int timeOfDay = c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);

I didn't get output and it doesn't show any error. Just the timeOfDay won't get assigned any value in the code. I felt it was because of some threading while Calendar.getInstance() is executed. But when I collapsed the lines it worked for me. See the following code:

int timeOfDay = Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);

if(timeOfDay >= 0 && timeOfDay < 12){
        greeting.setText("Good Morning");
}else if(timeOfDay >= 12 && timeOfDay < 16){
        greeting.setText("Good Afternoon");
}else if(timeOfDay >= 16 && timeOfDay < 21){
        greeting.setText("Good Evening");
}else if(timeOfDay >= 21 && timeOfDay < 24){
        greeting.setText("Good Morning");
}
