Convert String to Joda LocalTime format (HH:mm:ss) and Remove milliseconds

Question

DateTimeFormatter fmt = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("HH:mm:ss");
LocalTime localTime = fmt.parseLocalTime("02:51:20");
System.out.println("LocalTime:            "+localTime);

I need only 02:51:20 but it outputs as 02:51:20.000. Is there any way that I can remove the .000 (milliseconds) from the output?

Well, just reuse your formatter for printing instead of parsing — fge, Jan 16 '15 at 17:32
Hi, Thanks for your answer and it works. Is there a way that I can get that in LocalTime instead of String. I need LocalTime as 02:51:20 and not 02:51:20.000. — souashokraj, Jan 19 '15 at 10:27
No, the `.toString()` of `LocalTime` is fixed. You need to go through a formatter to have the format you want. — fge, Jan 19 '15 at 10:32
Ok. How to remove the milliseconds from the LocalTime. I need LocalTime only HH:mm:ss format and not the milliseconds included. Is it possible ? — souashokraj, Jan 19 '15 at 10:43
Yes I do, when I print it removes the .000 from the localtime. But i need the response in LocalTime in the format HH:mm:ss without the milliseconds in it. Am trying to format a String of the format HH:mm:ss to LocalTime without milliseconds. Is it possible ? — souashokraj, Jan 19 '15 at 11:38

Yes - you just need to format when you print out. Currently you're just using the default toString() representation. If you're happy with the formatter you've already got, you can just use:

System.out.println("LocalTime:            " + fmt.print(localTime));

You can easily use your DateTimeFormetter print() method. Try like this;

    DateTimeFormatter fmt = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("HH:mm:ss");
    LocalTime localTime = fmt.parseLocalTime("02:51:20");
    System.out.println("LocalTime                        :  " + localTime);
    System.out.println("LocalTime with DateTimeFormatter :  " + fmt.print(localTime));

And the output is;

LocalTime                        :  02:51:20.000
LocalTime with DateTimeFormatter :  02:51:20

Fixed this using

DateTime time = new DateTime();
DateTimeFormatter format = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("HH:mm:ss");
String localTime = time != null ? format.print(new LocalTime(time.getHourOfDay(), 
time.getMinuteOfHour(), time.getSecondOfMinute())) : null;

DateTime and LocalTime are from joda
