Hello, im facing date and time problem. I want get a time in Date Type, with this format HH:mm:SS

Calendar c = new GregorianCalend ar(1985,SEPTEMB ER, 05);
String s = String.format(" Date of birth Birthday: %1$tm %1$te,%1$tY", c);
System.out.prin tln("Date of Bith is:- "+s);
u can change the date format like above code. u have to import following class and packages:- util.GregorianC alendar & util.Calendar.* ;

Please don't post spoon feeding code; I told you this before; you shouldn't do it.
Read the forum guidelines by pressing the 'Help' link near the top of this page.
Also use the code tags when you do have to post a code fragment, don't use
the bold tags. Also post correct code, not incorrect code; it is confusing at
least to the OP. Consider this a warning. You stand the risk of a ban.

kind regards,

Jos

Im using java.util.Date, i convert the Time from String(HH:mm:SS format, value is 17:12:19) to Date, then it become "1970-01-01 17:12:00". Can i know why it become 1970-01-01?
