One Line Code 

String time = null;
try{
  time = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm").format(new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss").parse("your_time");
}catch{
}

in your_time you have to give input which you want to convert.

Use SimpleDateFormat to convert from One Time/Date Format to Another.

Log.v("12HRS Time", getFormatedDateTime("23:30:00", "HH:mm:ss", "hh:mm a"))

public static String getFormatedDateTime(String dateStr, String strReadFormat, String strWriteFormat) {

    String formattedDate = dateStr;

    DateFormat readFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(strReadFormat, Locale.getDefault());
    DateFormat writeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(strWriteFormat, Locale.getDefault());

    Date date = null;

    try {
        date = readFormat.parse(dateStr);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
    }

    if (date != null) {
        formattedDate = writeFormat.format(date);
    }

    return formattedDate;
}

           SimpleDateFormat t24 = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");
           SimpleDateFormat t12 = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a");
           Date date = t24.parse(time);
           System.out.println(t12.format(date));
       } catch (Exception e) {

Just use SimpleDateFormat

like this.....

public String GetTimeWithAMPMFromTime(String dt) {
        try {
            SimpleDateFormat inFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
            Date date = inFormat.parse(dt);
            SimpleDateFormat outFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a");
            String goal = outFormat.format(date);
            return goal;
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return "";
        }
    }

call the method...

String YOUR_TIME = GetTimeWithAMPMFromTime(WEB_SERVICE_TIME);

Try SimpleDateFormat

Example

Easiest way to get it by using date pattern - h:mm a, where

h - Hour in am/pm (1-12)
m - Minute in hour
a - Am/pm marker

Code snippet :

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a");
