java - convert String in time to Time object without Date

Question

i got problem to convert String time to Time object because it print together with Date. this is my code.

String time = "15:30:18";

DateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");
Date date = sdf.parse(time);

System.out.println("Time: " + date);

how to convert and print Time only without Date in java. it will be better if you could give an example.

thank you.

Answer 1

Use the same SimpleDateFormat that you used to parse it:

String time = "15:30:18";

DateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");
Date date = sdf.parse(time);

System.out.println("Time: " + sdf.format(date));

Remember, the Date object always represents a combined date/time value. It can't properly represent a date-only or time-only value, so you have to use the correct DateFormat to ensure you only "see" the parts that you want.
