12 hour format timepicker android

Question

I have a timepicker which is working fine. But it is in 24 hour format. I want it to be in 12 hour format. I can't find a possible solution. My current code snippet is:

Calendar mcurrentTime = Calendar.getInstance();
            final int hour = mcurrentTime.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
            int minute = mcurrentTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
            TimePickerDialog mTimePicker;
            mTimePicker = new TimePickerDialog(AddJob.this, new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener() {
                @Override
                public void onTimeSet(TimePicker timePicker, int selectedHour, int selectedMinute) {
                    ////
                }
            }, hour, minute, true);
            mTimePicker.setTitle("Select Time");
            mTimePicker.show();

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I am able to check the meridian after the date selection. But I want the user to select the meridian.

Update: How can an android question be duplicate of a javascript question? Someone left a negative vote on that..!

Change your TimePickerDialog call:

Your code is:

mTimePicker = new TimePickerDialog(AddJob.this,
          new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener() {
                @Override
                public void onTimeSet(TimePicker timePicker,
                       int selectedHour, int selectedMinute) {
                    ////
                }
            }, hour, minute, true);

Change your last parameter from true to false

since TimePickerDialog constructor syntax is:

TimePickerDialog(Context context,
        TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener listener,
        int hourOfDay,
        int minute,
        boolean is24HourView)

Note: last parameter is boolean is24HourView So change it to false and your problem will be solved
