DateTimeFormatter java

Question

I have problems with my datetime formater:

     private static final DateTimeFormatter DATE_TIME_FORMATTER = 
            DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm")

I want a given LocalDateTime

2015-04-12T20:00

to be printed as

12-04-2015 20:00

but my time is always printed as 08:00, how can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

You need to follow 24 hours format to achieve this. So use HH instead of hh. Here goes the code

private static final DateTimeFormatter DATE_TIME_FORMATTER = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm");

Answer 2

Use "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm". Lowercase hh is 12-hour hours, HH is 24-hour hours.

Please refer to the documentation of DateTimeFormatter, where there is a list of all formatting and parsing formats.
