	Actually by the time my Activity starts i should display current time in hours ,minutes,seconds(HH:mm:ss) in 24 hours format, and this time should run continuously as seconds need to change continuously gradually minutes and hours also. I kept a stop button in activity. once stop is clicked the time should stop and that stopped time need to be saved in a string . asked 21 mins ago

	Try like this.. onClick of STOP Button String currentTimeString = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss").format(new Date()); Use this string in Toast or TextView or whatever depending on your requirement To get Watch like display refer here answered 10 mins ago

	Try this code.. Date date =new Date(); DateFormat format = SimpleDateFormat.getTimeInstance ( SimpleDateFormat.MEDIUM, Locale.getDefault()); // set the text of component TextView with id 'message' textView.setTextViewText(R.id.widget_textview,"Current Time "+ format.format(date)); answered 7 mins ago
