Answer 1

You can equally have a class that returns the greetings.

import java.util.Calendar;

public class Greetings {
    public static String getGreetings()
    {
        Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
        int timeOfDay = c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);

        if(timeOfDay < 12){
            return "Good morning";
        }else if(timeOfDay < 16){
            return "Good afternoon";
        }else if(timeOfDay < 21){
            return "Good evening";
        }else {
            return "Good night";
        }
    }
}

If somebody looking the same for Dart and Flutter: the code without if statements - easy to read and edit.

main() {
  int hourValue = DateTime.now().hour;
  print(checkDayPeriod(hourValue));
}

String checkDayPeriod(int hour) {
  int _res = 21;
  Map<int, String> dayPeriods = {
    0: 'Good night',
    12: 'Good morning',
    16: 'Good afternoon',
    21: 'Good evening',
  };

  dayPeriods.forEach(
    (key, value) {
      if (hour < key && key <= _res) _res = key;
    },
  );

  return dayPeriods[_res];
}

In kotlin use the following

fun getCurrentTime(dateFormatInPut:String,myDate:String): Time {
        val sdf = SimpleDateFormat(dateFormatInPut, Locale.ENGLISH)
        val date = sdf.parse(myDate)
        val millis = date!!.time
        val calendar=Calendar.getInstance()
        calendar.timeInMillis=millis
        return when (calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY)) {
            in 0..11 -> Time.Morning
            in 12..15 -> Time.AfterNoon
            else -> Time.Evening
        }

    }

Here Time is enum class

enum class Time {
Morning,
AfterNoon,
Evening

}
