Format time with DateFormat.SHORT in Java
Use the getTimeInstance() method in Java to get the time format for the locale you have set. DateFormat.SHORT is a constant for short style pattern.
Firstly, we will create Date object
Date dt = new Date(); DateFormat dateFormat;
Let us format time for different locale with DateFormat.SHORT
dateFormat = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, Locale.CHINESE);
System.out.println("Locale CHINESE = " + dateFormat.format(dt));
dateFormat = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, Locale.CANADA);
System.out.println("Locale CANADA = " + dateFormat.format(dt));
The following is an example −
Example
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Locale;
public class Demo {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Date dt = new Date();
DateFormat dateFormat;
// Displaying time with SHORT constant
dateFormat = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, Locale.FRENCH);
System.out.println("Locale FRENCH = " + dateFormat.format(dt));
dateFormat = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, Locale.GERMANY);
System.out.println("Locale GERMANY = " + dateFormat.format(dt));
dateFormat = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, Locale.CHINESE);
System.out.println("Locale CHINESE = " + dateFormat.format(dt));
dateFormat = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, Locale.CANADA);
System.out.println("Locale CANADA = " + dateFormat.format(dt));
dateFormat = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, Locale.ITALY);
System.out.println("Locale ITALY = " + dateFormat.format(dt));
dateFormat = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, Locale.TAIWAN);
System.out.println("Locale TAIWAN = " + dateFormat.format(dt));
}
}
Output
Locale FRENCH = 09:45 Locale GERMANY = 09:45 Locale CHINESE = ??9:45 Locale CANADA = 9:45 AM Locale ITALY = 9.45 Locale TAIWAN = ?? 9:45
