You need to use the DateFormat Class Something like this will get you the current time in the format you desire.

DateFormat.format("hh:mmaa dd/MM/yyyy", System.currentTimeMillis());

Use a SimpleDateFormat.

Format should be like

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat( "HH:mma dd/MM/yyyy" );
sdf.format( yourDate );

There are many ways to do that in Android. You can use the SimpleDateFormat wich is a class for formatting and parsing dates. Formatting turns a Date into a String, and parsing turns a String into a Date. Or you can the class Formatter wich is low level but managing the localization is your responsibility.

You may find source code example on the Android javadoc on those classes
