TimePicker - how to get AM or PM? [duplicate]

Answer 1

I did it using Calendar, and that should work on all versions:

public void onTimeSet(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int minute){
    String am_pm = "";

    Calendar datetime = Calendar.getInstance();
    datetime.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hourOfDay);
    datetime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minute);

    if (datetime.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == Calendar.AM)
        am_pm = "AM";
    else if (datetime.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == Calendar.PM)
        am_pm = "PM";

    String strHrsToShow = (datetime.get(Calendar.HOUR) == 0) ?"12":Integer.toString( datetime.get(Calendar.HOUR) );


    ((Button)getActivity().findViewById(R.id.btnEventStartTime)).setText( strHrsToShow+":"+datetime.get(Calendar.MINUTE)+" "+am_pm );
}

Notice the use of Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY and Calendar.HOUR if you go to the documentation of both you'd know the trick.
