Get Time in MEDIUM format

[Vera]

This code outputs the date and the time that an event occurs, but how
do I tell it to only output the time in MEDIUM format? I know this is
easy but I just don't see how to do it

/** Method to Get Time of an Event */
public static String getTimeOfEvent()
{
GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
DateFormat formatter =
DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM,
DateFormat.MEDIUM, Locale.US);
TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("CST");
formatter.setTimeZone(timeZone);
String outputTime = formatter.format(calendar.getTime());
return outputTime;
}

Thank you

Your code produces...

Oct 9, 2006 9:50:28 PM

....on my system. That looks correct to me -- i.e., both date and time are
in MEDIUM format.

If I understand your question, you want to output the time only, like so...

9:50:28 PM


If that's what you want to do, then change this...

DateFormat formatter =
DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM,
DateFormat.MEDIUM, Locale.US);


....to this...

DateFormat formatter =
DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM, Locale.US);
