SimpleDateFormat 1

[Stretchwickster]

Hi,
I've specified a date format to be displayed (i.e. "HH:mm:ss" e.g. 14:47:32) and i want to be able to toggle this format with the use of one button to a 12 hr format (i.e "hh:mm:ss a" e.g 02:47:32 PM). I was wondering if it is possible to get the current format to know which format to change it to.

So:
if (formatter.? == "HH:mm:ss&quot
//what is the method to retrieve the current format?
{
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss a"
}
else
{
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss&quot
}

formatter.toPattern() will give you what you want.
