I am working with the deprecated (since version 22) android.text.format.Time. Right now I need to know if my time is AM or PM.

I understand that this class is deprecated since SDK >= 22 but I need to get this working with the class android.text.format.Time since I can't switch to Gregorian calendar in this code

I am using this code, which is not working:

Time time = new Time();
time.clear("my timezone");
time.setToNow();

The code is working but when I try to get the AM/PM symbol with this:

String symbol = time.format("aa");

I get back

> aa

Found it, you need to work with Linux format http://linux.die.net/man/3/strftime In this case time.format("%k") and it works – Raffaeu Dec 24 '15 at 12:39
