Answer 2

You can use java.time.Duration which is modelled on ISO-8601 standards and was introduced with Java-8 as part of JSR-310 implementation. With Java-9 some more convenience methods were introduced.

If you have gone through the above links, you might have already noticed that PT18M8S specifies a duration of 18 minutes 8 seconds that you can parse to a Duration object and out of this object, you can create a string formatted as per your requirement by getting days, hours, minutes, seconds from it.

Demo:

import java.time.Duration;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String strIso8601Duration = "PT18M8S";

        Duration duration = Duration.parse(strIso8601Duration);
        // Default format
        System.out.println(duration);

        // Custom format
        // ####################################Java-8####################################
        String formattedElapsedTime = String.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", duration.toHours() % 24,
                duration.toMinutes() % 60, duration.toSeconds() % 60);
        System.out.println(formattedElapsedTime);
        // ##############################################################################

        // ####################################Java-9####################################
        formattedElapsedTime = String.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", duration.toHoursPart(), duration.toMinutesPart(),
                duration.toSecondsPart());
        System.out.println(formattedElapsedTime);
        // ##############################################################################

        System.out.println(duration.toMillis() + " milliseconds");
    }
}

Output:

PT18M8S
00:18:08
00:18:08
1088000 milliseconds

• For any reason, if you have to stick to Java 6 or Java 7, you can use ThreeTen-Backport which backports most of the java.time functionality to Java 6 & 7.
• If you are working for an Android project and your Android API level is still not compliant with Java-8, check Java 8+ APIs available through desugaring and How to use ThreeTenABP in Android Project.
