Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY always showing 1 hour advance and 12 Hour Format

Question

My code

    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    thisHour = calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
    Log.e(TAG + "--thisHour: ",String.valueOf(thisHour));

So this should print the hour of day as 24 hour format. When tried, then Time was 2.10pm so it should print 14. But it always print in log 3. I tried at other times too but same result. Always print time 1 hour advance and in 12 hour format. What have I done wrong ! Need guidline

Actually it isn't a duplicate, because he is complaining of the hour being WRONG, not just in 12hours format. — mawalker, Dec 24 '15 at 08:37

This sounds like an issue related to timezone or daylight savings, etc.

Have you tried getTime() and getTimeZone() to verify that the information being returned is what you expect? or even toString() which should print everything in a readable format for you.
