This example demonstrate about How to get local time and date in android using LocalDateTime API class.
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".MainActivity"> <TextView android:id="@+id/date" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Local Date" app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent" app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" /> </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
In the above code, we have taken textview to show time and date.

import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.date);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
LocalDateTime time = LocalDateTime.now();
DateTimeFormatter dateTimeFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
dateTimeFormatter.format(time);
textView.setText(String.valueOf("Date & Time " + time));
}
}
