Android: Time.setToNow()- Minute value not formatted correctly?

In the following code In my Android application I am sdisplaying the time as the current time like so:

 String timeToDisplay;
 Time time = new Time();
    time.setToNow();
    timeToDisplay = time.hour + ":" + time.minute + ":"
    + time.second;

This is working as intended but the output minute format is not exactly what I want.

I want to have e.g.:

21:05:45

But I am getting:

21:5:45

i.e. the zero is missing from the minute.

How can I ensure that the zero is shown in the time.minute if the minute is under 10 past the hour?

Since you are getting the int value of minute it wont really give you the 0 before it but you can still format your string and append "0" before the time.minute

sample:

timeToDisplay = time.hour + ":" + (time.minute < 10 ? "0"+time.minute : time.minute) + ":"
