Your pattern in SimpleDateFormat is not correct... Also note you are not printing the String with the date formatted, instead of this you are printing the Date object, so you will see always this format because you call Date.toString() method implicit when you call System.out.println(finalTime1);.

Use:

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
String dateFormatted = dateFormat.format(cal.getTime())
System.out.println(dateFormatted);

And you will get correct output...
