TimeFormat

[Timo Nentwig]

Hi!

Isn't there a TimeFormat just as there is a DecimalFormat?

I want to do simple formating:

long t0 = System.currentTimeMillis();
....
long t1 = System.currentTimeMillis();

time = new TimeFormat("mm:ss");
time.format(t1-t0); // e.g. 5:17

Regards
Timo

You are looking for DateFormat (java.text.DateFormat).

DateFormat df = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
df.format(System.currentTimeInMillis());

I don't see anything for a time interval. For a time of day, use
DateFormat or SimpleDateFormat.

See java.text.DateFormat and java.text.MessageFormat.

(The latter should be used to put things together, instead of manually
assembling string pieces)

Nothing for time or date intervals. There is also no support in JDBC even though
Interval is a SQL92 data type. Interval is the only SQL92 data type that JDBC ignores.
