Time in hour:Minute:second format in j2me

Question

I trying to make a method that return a String that expresses of current time in j2me or lwuit framework at hour:Minute:Second Format.

If I use the following code the output will be:

Wed Mar 06 13:55:45 GMT+03:00 2013 (only I need 13:55:45)

public String   Refresh() {
    java.util.Date t = new java.util.Date(System.currentTimeMillis() );
    String tt = t.toString();
    return tt;
}

And if I use the following code Refresh method always returns 3:0:0 !!!

java.util.Calendar calendar;
public String   Refresh() {
     calendar = calendar.getInstance();
     StringBuffer time = new StringBuffer();
     time.append(calendar.get(java.util.Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY)).append(':');
     time.append(calendar.get(java.util.Calendar.MINUTE)).append(':');
     time.append(calendar.get(java.util.Calendar.SECOND));
     String tt = time.toString();
     return tt;
}

I'm not sure that's going to work, but what about using: `calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());` after `getInstance`? — default locale, Mar 06 '13 at 11:18

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
Date myDate = new Date(); // May be your date too.
calendar.setTime(myDate);

I think this will work.

R.j thankfully has solved my problem.

So the complete code will be

public String   Refresh()
    {

    calendar = calendar.getInstance();
    Date myDate = new Date();  
calendar.setTime(myDate);
     StringBuffer time = new StringBuffer();
     time.append(calendar.get(java.util.Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY)).append(':');
     time.append(calendar.get(java.util.Calendar.MINUTE)).append(':');
     time.append(calendar.get(java.util.Calendar.SECOND));
     String tt = time.toString();
     return tt;


}
