getDateTimeInstance customized time format

Question

Using this code:

DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.LONG, DateFormat.FULL, new Locale("no")).format(Date);

Date 3 AM CST 12 DEC 16 would have a result of: 12. desember 2016 kl 03.00 CST

But what if I only want to show the hours in the time format and remove the minutes and seconds if ever it was present on other locales?

Expecting a result of 12. desember 2016 kl 03 CST or if using English locale then should only be December 12, 2016 3 AM CST

Answer 1

How about having a SimpleDateFormatter like below:

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd. MMMMM yyyy aa hh z", new Locale("no"));
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(new Date()));
