Display Time in 24 Hours Format in Java

In this article we’ll see a Java program to display time in 24 hour format. The pattern specified in SimpleDateFormat or DateFormatter class (Java 8 onward) for time determines whether time is shown in 12 hour format or 24 hour format. For 24 hour format you will have to use HH for hour not hh.

Time in 24 hour format using DateFormatter

LocalTime time = LocalTime.now();
// Pattern for 24 hrs
DateTimeFormatter pattern = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("HH:mm:ss");
System.out.println("Time (24 Hour format) - " + time.format(pattern));

Output

Time (24 Hour format) – 16:43:45

Time in 24 hour format using SimpleDateFormat

Date date = new Date();
// Pattern for 24 Hrs.
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
System.out.println("Time (24 Hour format) - " + sdf.format(date));

Output

Time (24 Hour format) – 16:45:30
