Formatting local time in java

Question

I\'m creating my JavaFX application and I need to use time label every time new list cell is created. I need to put the string with current time in HH:MM format

Answer 1

It's probably better to use Java 8 types (java.time) in a new application. You can first create a DateTimeFormatter:

DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("HH:mm");

And then get the current time and format it:

Label timeLabel = new Label(LocalTime.now().format(dtf));
