need help on datetime function in java

I am trying to using the getHours() function in the Date class in Java, but it always shows "The method getHours() from the type Date is deprecated".

How do I format the datetime to yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm and add 8 hours in the time display? After this I need to getHours() for some compare function. My code is given below, but has some errors and doesn't work...

SimpleDateFormat Dateformat = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm" );

Date dateA = new Date();
Date in8Hours = new Date( dateA.getTime() + 8L * Timer.ONE_HOUR );
String systimeNow = Dateformat.format( in8Hours ).toString();
Date systimeNowA = Dateformat.parse( systimeNow );
if (systimeNowA.getHours() >= 13)
{
    ...
}

Use Calendar instead, which is not deprecated:

Calendar systimeNowA = Calendar.getInstance();
int hour = systimeNowA .get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);

How to get the format:

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm");
String formattedOutput= dateFormat.format(systimeNowA .getTime());
