Android - Get time from EditText inputType="time"

Question

I have EditText in my XML file:

   <EditText
    android:id="@+id/etExitHour"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:ems="10"
    android:inputType="time"
    android:hint="exit hour"/>

How can I get the time that the user enters?

You need SimpleDateFormat Take a look at here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10028211/how-can-i-get-the-date-from-the-edittext-and-then-store-it-in-database-in-androi — Florian Strasser, Feb 05 '16 at 09:56

String str = editText.getText().toString();
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss a");
Date date = formatter.parse(str);

Date class has a method date.getTime() which returns you the time in long – Nitesh Feb 05 '16 at 10:15

Nitesh, Suhas Thanks,I have another editText for the date,There is a way to get just the time? – NomNom Feb 05 '16 at 10:30
@nomnom SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss") will formate your input to hh:mm:ss where hh is for hours mm is for minutes and ss is for seconds. it is returning the time in hh:mm:ss formate as you required. – Nitesh Feb 05 '16 at 10:33

Try This:

EditText etExitHouret = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etExitHour);        

DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); // Make sure user insert date into edittext in this format.

Date dateObject;    
String date;
String time;

try {
    String dob_var=(etExitHouret.getText().toString());

    dateObject = formatter.parse(dob_var);

    date = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").format(dateObject);
    time = new SimpleDateFormat("h:mmaa").format(dateObject);
    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), date + time, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} 
catch (java.text.ParseException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Thanks! How can I take the time (string) and convert him to time? — NomNom, Feb 05 '16 at 10:21
