android current time will not working properly

Question

In my case just display current time in textview but it not working properly.

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
Date today = calendar.getTime();

dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
String todayAsString = dateFormatter.format(today);
datePickUp.setText(todayAsString);

SimpleDateFormat dF = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a");
String currentTime = dF.format(today);
timePick.setText(currentTime);

In today the value is Wed Jun 21 12:22:32 GMT+05:30 2017 but in currenTime value is as 06:52 AM.

Are you using a emulator? have you tried the same code in Real device? have you checked the device time? — Android Geek, Jun 21 '17 at 06:59

you can also use android text time format

import java.util.Calendar
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); 
int seconds = c.get(Calendar.SECOND);

or those who might rather prefer a customized format, you can use:

DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, d MMM yyyy, HH:mm");
String date = df.format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
