See more:

EditText time = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.time);

time.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener(){
    @Override
    public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	Calendar mcurrentTime = Calendar.getInstance();
	int hour = mcurrentTime.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
	int minute = mcurrentTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
	TimePickerDialog mTimePicker;
	            
	mTimePicker = new TimePickerDialog(AddEventsActivity.this, new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener() {

	      @Override
	      public void onTimeSet(TimePicker timePicker, int selectedHour, int selectedMinute) {
	         time.setText( selectedHour + ":" + selectedMinute);
	        }
	 }, hour, minute, true);//Yes 24 hour time
	            
	 mTimePicker.setTitle("Select Time");
	 mTimePicker.show();

	 return false;
         }
});

The above code display 24 hour clock while long click on edit text. But, I want 12 hour clock (i.e. with am and pm).

What should I change in this code? Is there any other way?

Solution 1

change the true in TimePickerDialog to false

mTimePicker = new TimePickerDialog(AddEventsActivity.this, new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener() {...}, hour, minute, false);

Refer: TimePickerDialog[^]

As Mr.Peter Leow told, changing true in TimePickerDialog to false will display time picker with am and pm. But the value return will be in 24 hour time. So we have to check the returned time and change the time in 12 hour clock format.

Java

<pre>
EditText time = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.time);

time.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener(){
        @Override
	public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	Calendar mcurrentTime = Calendar.getInstance();
	int hour = mcurrentTime.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
	int minute = mcurrentTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
	TimePickerDialog mTimePicker;
	            
	mTimePicker = new TimePickerDialog(AddEventsActivity.this, new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener() {
	     @Override
	     public void onTimeSet(TimePicker timePicker, int selectedHour, int selectedMinute) {
	                	
	        String am_pm;
	        if (selectedHour > 12)
	          {
	             selectedHour = selectedHour - 12;
	             am_pm = "PM";
	             } else {
	             am_pm = "AM";
	          }
	                	
	      time.setText( selectedHour + ":" + selectedMinute + " " +am_pm);
	     }
	     }, hour, minute, false);
	     mTimePicker.setTitle("Select Time");
	     mTimePicker.show();
             return false;
            }
});
