How to delete some character from respone in Java?

I have some string respone date like this:
2018-11-30 12:00:00
and i want just get the time, so i want like this:
12.00
and my question, can we delete some character like that?

Sounds like you want to use SimpleDateFormat so something like:
Date today = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("hh.mm");
String folderName = formatter.format(today);
Based on your comment try:
int index = time.indexOf(‘:’);
int start = index -2;
int end = index + 2;
String newTime = time.substring(start,end);

String apiDateString = "2018-11-30 12:00:00"; // in this case, your string from api
Date apiDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").parse(apiDateString); // convert api date string to date
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("hh.mm");
String yourDateString = formatter.format(apiDate);
I think you want this.
Edited with little comment.
convert string to date. (apiDateString to apiDate)
create new format for what you want to form. In this case, 12.00
convert apiDate to your format. (apiDate -> 12.00)

You can try this
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat mdformat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
String strDate = "Current Time : " + mdformat.format(calendar.getTime());
display(strDate);

You can use SimpleDateFormat to get time and then replace : by .
I hope it can help your problem!

You can refer to this post.
Use SimpleDateFormat to format you date.
From String to Date
// Convert from string to date
String yourDate = "2018-11-30 12:00:00";
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
Date date = format.parse(yourDate);
//Use calender instead of date to getHours and minute, due to deprecated
Calendar calendar = GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(date);
calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR);
calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
System.out.println(calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY)+"."+calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE)); //12.0

I want my string to converted to a day [duplicate]

How to determine day of week by passing specific date?

Closed 7 years ago.
I have this string
String s = "29/04/2015"
And I want it to produce the name of that day in my language, which is Norwegian.
For example:
29/04/2015 is "Onsdag"
30/04/2015 is "Torsdag"
How can I do this?

String dateString = "29/04/2015";
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date date = dateFormat.parse(dateString);
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("E", Locale.no_NO);
String day = formatter.format(date);
Now day will have the day in given locale. Update

You need to configure an instance of DateFormat, with your locale, (take a look at https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Locale.html).
then parse the Date and get the day, as Dilip already suggests.

You can use date parsing combined with Locale settings to get the desired output. For e.g. refer following code.
String dateStr = "29/04/2015";
SimpleDateFormat dtf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date dt = dtf.parse(dateStr);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(dt);
String m = cal.getDisplayName(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.LONG_FORMAT, new Locale("no", "NO"));
System.out.println(m);
For more information about locale, visit Oracle Java Documentation.

First you will need to parse the String to a Date. Then use a Calendar to get the day of the week. You can use an array to convert it to the appropriate string.
// Array of Days
final String[] DAYS = {
"søndag", "mandag", "tirsdag", "onsdag", "torsdag", "fredag", "lørdag"
};
// Parse the date
final String source = "27/04/2015";
final DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date date = new Date();
try {
date = format.parse(source);
} catch (final ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Convert to calendar
final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTime(date);
final int dayOfWeek = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
// Get the day's name
System.out.println("Day of Week: " + dayOfWeek);
System.out.println("Day = " + DAYS[dayOfWeek - 1]);

You need to parse your text with date to Date instance and then format it back to text. You can do it with SimpleDateFormat class which supports many patterns of dates like
dd/MM/yyyy for your original date,
and EEEE for full name of day in month.
While formatting you will also need to specify locale you want to use. To create Norway specific locale you can use for instance
Locale nor = Locale.forLanguageTag("no-NO");
So your code can look more or less like:
String text = "29/04/2015";
Locale nor = Locale.forLanguageTag("no-NO");
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy", nor);
SimpleDateFormat dayOfWeek = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE", nor);
Date date = sdf.parse(text);
System.out.println(dayOfWeek.format(date));
Output: onsdag.

final int SUNDAY = 1;
final int ONSDAG = 2;
final int TORSDAG = 3;
....
....
String s = "29/04/2015";
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date date = dateFormat.parse(s);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(date);
int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
String dayString;
switch (day) {
case(ONSDAG):
dayString = "ONSDAG";
break;
....
}
EDIT: I just tested this and it actually starts from Sunday, and returns the value of 1 for sunday, I've changed the constant values to reflect this.

First you'll need a Calendar object.
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
String s = "29/04/2015"
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
cal.setTime(format.parse(s));
From the Calendar you can get the day of the week.
int dayOfWeek = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
dayOfWeek will be 1-7 with Sunday (in english) being 1

You can use an HashMap map where the first parametri is the date "29/4/2015" while the second is the meaning. You can use your string to get the meaning map.get (yourString).

android getDate from milliseconds stored in String field

I have a date stored in a String field in SQLITE with the String value
"/Date(1411472160000+0100)/"
how can I convert this back into a date format , the code below doesn't work. I think I need to convert from the milliseconds first but I cant see how to even get the above text into a long format first ?
any suggestions ?
Date convertedDate = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm",
java.util.Locale.getDefault());
convertedDate = dateFormat.parse(dateString);
return dateFormat.format(convertedDate);

Well, a substring from the indexOf("(") to the indexOf("+") and you should find the date in milli.
From there, I believe you can find the date ;)
String s = "/Date(1411472160000+0100)/";
s = s.substring(s.indexOf("(") + 1, s.indexOf("+"));
Date d = new Date(Long.parseLong(s));
With the same structure, you can find the timezone (+0100) (from "+" to ")") and work with a Calendar to find the right time for the right time area.

First you have to parse out the time value from String i.e. "1411472160000+0100" part.
Here in "1411472160000+0100" , "+0100" is the timezone info. If you don't want to consider the timezone, then you can take following approach.
Approach-1
long timestamp = 1245613885;
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault());
calendar.setTimeInMillis(timestamp * 1000);
int year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DATE);
int hour = calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
int minute = calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
then to get the date in your specified format you can use-
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
String dateString = sdf.format(calendar.getTime());
System.out.println(dateString); // 2009-06-21 15:51:25
Besides this approach, there is an excellent Java Date library called JodaTime.
If you want to incorporate the timezone info , you can refer to this constructor from JodaTime.

How to remove millisec from date and time [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Change date format in a Java string
(22 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have a object that giving date and time in this format "2014-06-11 16:32:36.828".
I want to remove millisec .828.
In my db that object is in time stamp format but whenever i am showing i am converting it to tostring().
so how to remove millisec please help me

The following code convert "2014-06-11 16:32:36.828" into "2014-06-11 16:32:36"
new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").format(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS").parse("2014-06-11 16:32:36.828"));
Explanation:
new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS").parse("2014-06-11 16:32:36.828") parse the input string into
Wed Jun 11 16:32:36 IST 2014
new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").format(new Date()) format the input date into specified structure.

I would use DateUtils.truncate(date, Calendar.SECOND)

Date d = SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS").format(yourString);
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTime(d);
c.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
return c.getTime();
I remember there is a way to directly read Date off your timestamp field but I don't do that in my everyday coding. So I'd left for others to post so. Nevertheless, you can use the same above code to translate your date from that timestamp into a date without MILLISECOND.

If you receive it as a Timestamp, you should use the appropriate formatter when converting it to a string:
String s = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").format(timestamp);
Note: this will use the default time zone of the local computer.

Extract epoch millis from the original Date object and do integer division by 1000 followed by multiplication by 1000. Create Date object with the time zone of the original object and the millis calculated the above suggested way.

You can get the system time as follows without milliseconds
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
And the code
Calendar currentDate = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat formatter= new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-YYYY-hh:mm:ss");
String dateNow = formatter.format(currentDate.getTime());
System.out.println(dateNow);

if you want to mantain the format try something like that:
public static String getFechaTimestampToString (Timestamp timestamp) {
String date = "";
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(new Date(timestamp.getTime()));
int year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1;
int day = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
String monthstr = "";
String daystr = "";
if(month<10)
monthstr = "0"+month;
else
monthstr = ""+month;
if(day<10)
daystr = "0"+day;
else
daystr = ""+day;
date = year + "-" + monthstr + "-" + daystr ;
return date;
}
To reverse data to database:
public static Timestamp getFechaStringToTimestamp (String strDate) {
Timestamp timestamp = null;
strDate = strDate + " 00:00:00";
timestamp = Timestamp.valueOf(strDate);
return timestamp;
}

string : 2014-04-25 17:03:13
using SimpleDateFormat is enough to format?
or
otherwise i will shift to any new API?
Date date = new Date(string);
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat ("yyyy-MM-dd");
out.println( dateFormat.format (date));
My expected result is (India zone):
Date : 25-04-2014
Time : 05:03 PM

Remembering that Date objects have no inherent format, you need two DateFormat objects to produce the result you seek - one to parse and another to format:
String input = "2014-04-25 17:03:13";
DateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("'Date : 'dd-MM-yyyy\n'Time : 'KK:mm a");
System.out.println(outputFormat.format(inputFormat.parse(input)));
Output:
Date : 25-04-2014
Time : 05:03 PM
Note the use of quoted sequences in the format, such a "'Date : '", which is treated as a literal within the format pattern.

I custom onTimeSet() function . Send the hour and minutes to it. It will return the time with format am and pm
public static String onTimeSet( int hour, int minute) {
Calendar mCalen = Calendar.getInstance();;
mCalen.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
mCalen.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minute);
int hour12format_local = mCalen.get(Calendar.HOUR);
int hourOfDay_local = mCalen.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
int minute_local = mCalen.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
int ampm = mCalen.get(Calendar.AM_PM);
String minute1;
if(minute_local<10){
minute1="0"+minute_local;
}
else
minute1=""+minute_local;
String ampmStr = (ampm == 0) ? "AM" : "PM";
// Set the Time String in Button
if(hour12format_local==0)
hour12format_local=12;
String selecteTime=hour12format_local+":"+ minute1+" "+ampmStr;
retrun selecteTime;
}

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm a");
more patterns you can find here

Try given below sample code:
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
Date date = new Date();
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(date));
//Output: 2013-05-20 10:16:44
