Extract time from date String

How can I format the "2010-07-14 09开发者_开发技巧:00:02" date string to depict just "9:00"?

Use DateTimeFormatter to convert between a date string and a real LocalDateTime object. with a LocalDateTime as starting point, you can easily apply formatting based on various patterns as definied in the javadoc of the DateTimeFormatter.

String originalString = "2010-07-14 09:00:02";
LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(originalString, DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"));
String newString = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("H:mm").format(dateTime); // 9:00

In case you're not on Java 8 or newer yet, use SimpleDateFormat to convert between a date string and a real Date object. with a Date as starting point, you can easily apply formatting based on various patterns as definied in the javadoc of the SimpleDateFormat.

String originalString = "2010-07-14 09:00:02";
Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").parse(originalString);
String newString = new SimpleDateFormat("H:mm").format(date); // 9:00

Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").parse("2010-07-14 09:00:02");
String time = new SimpleDateFormat("H:mm").format(date);

A very simple way is to use Formatter (see date time conversions) or more directly String.format as in

String.format("%tR", new Date())

The other answers were good answers when the question was asked. Time moves on, Date and SimpleDateFormat get replaced by newer and better classes and go out of use. In 2017, use the classes in the java.time package:

    String timeString = LocalDateTime.parse(dateString, DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("uuuu-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"))
            .format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("H:mm"));

The result is the desired, 9:00.

I'm assuming your first string is an actual Date object, please correct me if I'm wrong. If so, use the SimpleDateFormat object: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html. The format string "h:mm" should take care of it.

If you have date in integers, you could use like here:

Date date = new Date();
date.setYear(2010);
date.setMonth(07);
date.setDate(14)
date.setHours(9);
date.setMinutes(0);
date.setSeconds(0);
String time = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss").format(date);

let datestring = "2017-02-14 02:16:28"

let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.dateStyle = DateFormatter.Style.full
formatter.timeStyle = DateFormatter.Style.full

formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"

let date = formatter.date(from: datestring)
let date2 = formatter.String(from: date)
