How to compare current time with time range?

Question

I have two String variables - time1 and time2. Both contain value in the format HH:MM. How can I check:

1. If the current time

Answer 1

As of now, I am thinking about the following approach:

int clTime = Integer.parseInt(time1.substring(0, 1))*60 + Integer.parseInt(time1.substring(3, 4)); 

Time now = new Time();
now.setToNow();
int nowTime = now.hour*60 + now.minute;

So, I'll need to compare just integer values clTime and nowTime.
