                            TimePickerDialog mTimePicker;
                            mTimePicker = new TimePickerDialog(Timepicker.this,
                                    new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener() {
                                        @Override
                                        public void onTimeSet(TimePicker timePicker,
                                                int selectedHour, int selectedMinute) {
                                            et.setText(selectedHour + ":" + selectedMinute);
                                        }
                                    }, hour, minute, false);// Yes 24 hour time
                            mTimePicker.setTitle("Select Starting Time");
                            mTimePicker.show();
                        }
                    });

Instead of using et.setText() you should get the current time again and just modify the hour and minute properties to the newly selected ones.

    Calendar initialTime = Calendar.getInstance();

    int hour = initialTime.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
    int minute = initialTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE);

    TimePickerDialog mTimePicker = new TimePickerDialog(Timepicker.this,
        new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener() {
            @Override
            public void onTimeSet(TimePicker timePicker,
                    int selectedHour, int selectedMinute) {

                Calendar currentTime = Calendar.getInstance();
                currentTime.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, selectedHour);
                currentTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, selectedMinute);

                Date selectedDate = currentTime.getTime();
            }
        }, hour, minute, false);// Yes 24 hour time

    mTimePicker.setTitle("Select Starting Time");
    mTimePicker.show();

Hope that helps
