Getting Time Display in EditText of TimePickerDialog in Android

I'm using a TimePickerDialog in my application, I use a hint for the EditText (through which time is set), but once the user sets time in the TimePickerDialog the hint goes away and the time selected replaces it.

I want the present time (hour and minute) to be displayed in the EditText before the user sets the time, How can I do that?

Solution

  • I added the following code to my project and it worked:

    SimpleDateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm", Locale.getDefault());
String time = timeFormat.format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
editText.setText(time);
