Formatting a calendar date
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy 'at' h:mm a");
System.out.println(format.format(calendar.getTime()));
Running the above code outputs the current time (e.g., Saturday, May 26, 2012 at 11:03 PM
).
See the Android documentation for SimpleDateFormat
for more information.
The format specification of SimpleDateFormat
is similar to that of PHP's date
function:
echo date("l, M j, Y \a\\t g:i A");
You're right. Compared to the Java code, the PHP code is much more succinct.
Use the below to format the date as required. Refer this LINK
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
lastclick.setText(getString(R.string.lastclick) + " " + String.format("%1$tA %1$tb %1$td %1$tY at %1$tI:%1$tM %1$Tp", calendar));
Where %1$tA for staurday, %1$tb for May,
and so on...
