How to set time to 24 hour format in Calendar

Question

I need to set the time on the current date. The time string is always in 24 hour format but the result I get is wrong:

  SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDate         


        

Answer 1

Replace this:

c1.set(Calendar.HOUR, d1.getHours());

with this:

c1.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, d1.getHours());

Calendar.HOUR is strictly for 12 hours.
