How can I set my textClock to phone's default time format?

I have my TextClock Set as the following: 

<TextClock
                android:id="@+id/datetime"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
                android:layout_row="1"
                android:layout_column="2"
                android:textColor="@color/black"
                android:format24Hour="HH:mm"
                android:format12Hour="HH:mm"
                />

Right now even though my phone is defaulted to a 12 hour time, it's showing up as a 24 hour time.

I want to be able to set it to a 12 hour time zone but not permanently, only in regards to whatever my phone is set as. How can I do that?

EDIT:

I removed the format above but I am setting it again in the code like: 

TextClock textClock = (TextClock) findViewById(R.id.datetime);
        textClock.setFormat12Hour("HH:mm");
        textClock.setFormat24Hour("HH:mm");

Would this also affect the phone's time zone?

I want to remove the AM/PM from the textclock when a format is not set in XML.

Replace:

android:format12Hour="hh:mm a" // 11:59 PM
android:format24Hour="HH:mm" // 23:59

Also you can try this:

TextClock textClock = (TextClock) findViewById(R.id.datetime);
textClock.setFormat12Hour(null);

Just remove 

android:format24Hour="HH:mm"
android:format12Hour="HH:mm"

This will make it so it automatically sets the format to what your phone is
