Data format in java

[Logan 2]

Hello,
I must convert a number of seconds in days, hours, minutes, seconds. I have a problem in the data format in java.
Here is my code

Public class Clock {
 
	Public static void hand(String[] args) {
	   int ul = 100;
String seconds;

	   try
	   {
	      System.out.System.out.println( "Enter a time in seconds to convert" );
read = System.in.read();
	   }
	   catch ( Exception e )
	   {
	      e.printStackTrace();
	   }
       / / SimpleDateFormat sdf (read) by int seconds in days hh mm ss
	   / / SDF format for the seconds
       SimpleDateFormat fmat = new SimpleDateFormat ("HH: mm: ss");
       String fmat = formatteddate.format(read);
System.out.System.out.println( "it gives" + Formatteddate );
	}
}

This is not working, how can I perform the task? Any help will be great for me?

Hello,
You can use the object Calendar

Calendar dt = Calendar.getInstance(); / / gets you the time of day
/ / in case you want to keep the year and dt

dt.set(Calendar.HOUR, 0);
dt.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
dt.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
dt.set(Calendar.Millisecond, 0);

dt.set(Calendar.SECOND, Seconds);

Using something like this you have to get close to a solution

Hi,
Already your method of reading is incorrect, System.in.read () return code of a character and not a number (See the class with a scanner for reading advanced). Exception handling is not great, it works not but continue anyway. Finally a date is not a time and you find yourself with odd values because of the special dates (timezone, etc..). Whether you use an API that has a management durations or you implement this without using Date / Calendar & Others.

Hi,
I strongly advise you to use Joda-Time API as mentioned above, if you do not want too much to take the lead. It is well documented and very easy to use. If you need the documentation on it you can visit their official site, and also it will make your code easy to read, as it is very easy to implement. First do the above and if you have any more queries then you can ask.

OK I'll try this API. Actually I have never heard about this before and I do not know how to use it , if you can explain me briefly then it would be great. Or is there any way so that I can learn it easy that is I mean to say so documentation covering only the main points in it. By the way thanks for you replies and the help .

Hello,
Even I am new to java, but i have a code similar to your needs, here is the code , see if it helps you.

import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

public class MainClass {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String pat = "MM/dd/yyyy";
    SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat(pat);
    try {
      Date dt = fmt.parse("12/31/2006");
      System.out.println(dt);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    // fmtting
    System.out.println(fmt.fmt(new Date()));
  }
}
