Java LocalTime by Examples

Tags: Java LocalTime Java 8

In Java the java.time.LocalTime class is represent a time without a time-zone in the ISO-8601 calendar system. The java.time.LocalTime class was introduced from Java 8. In this Java core tutorial we learn how to use the java.time.LocalTime class in Java programming language with different example Java programs.

Get Current System Time using LocalTime.now() method

In Java we can create a new LocalTime object of current time from the system clock in the default time zone using the LocalTime.now() static method as below Java code.

LocalTimeExample1.java 

import java.time.LocalTime;

public class LocalTimeExample1 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        LocalTime localTime = LocalTime.now();

        System.out.println(localTime);
    }
}
The output as below. 
21:40:06.509415100

Or create LocalTime object of current time in a specified time zone as below.

LocalTimeExample2.java 

import java.time.LocalTime;
import java.time.ZoneId;

public class LocalTimeExample2 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        ZoneId zoneId = ZoneId.of("Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh");
        LocalTime localTime = LocalTime.now(zoneId);

        System.out.println("Time at Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh: " + localTime);
    }
}
The output as below. 
Time at Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh: 21:40:29.026879

In the following Java program we show how to create LocalTime object which a specified Clock, for example UTC time zone.

LocalTimeExample3.java 

import java.time.Clock;
import java.time.LocalTime;

public class LocalTimeExample3 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        Clock clock = Clock.systemUTC();
        LocalTime localTime = LocalTime.now(clock);

        System.out.println("UTC LocalTime: " + localTime);
    }
}
The output as below. 
UTC LocalTime: 14:40:55.900365

Create LocalTime object from Hour Minute Second and Nano of Second

In Java we can instantiate a new LocalTime object from given hour, minute, second and nano of second using the LocalTime.of() static method as the following example Java code.

LocalTimeExample4.java 

import java.time.LocalTime;

public class LocalTimeExample4 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        int hour = 8;
        int minute = 30;
        int second = 20;
        int nanoOfSecond = 999;

        LocalTime localTime1 = LocalTime.of(hour, minute);
        LocalTime localTime2 = LocalTime.of(hour, minute, second);
        LocalTime localTime3 = LocalTime.of(hour, minute, second, nanoOfSecond);

        System.out.println(localTime1);
        System.out.println(localTime2);
        System.out.println(localTime3);
    }
}

public class LocalTimeExample5 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        long secondOfDay = 60030;

        LocalTime localTime = LocalTime.ofSecondOfDay(secondOfDay);

        System.out.println("Second of Day: " + secondOfDay);
        System.out.println("LocalTime: " + localTime);
    }
}

}
The output as below. 
Nano of Day: 999999999999
LocalTime: 00:16:39.999999999

Convert String to LocalTime

In Java we can use the LocalTime.parse() static method to parse a time String into LocalTime object. For example, in the Java code below we parse different String of hour minute second and nano of second to LocalTime object.

LocalTimeExample7.java 

import java.time.LocalTime;

public class LocalTimeExample7 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        LocalTime localTime1 = LocalTime.parse("08:30");
        LocalTime localTime2 = LocalTime.parse("08:30:20");
        LocalTime localTime3 = LocalTime.parse("08:30:20.999999999");

        System.out.println(localTime1);
        System.out.println(localTime2);
        System.out.println(localTime3);
    }
}
The output as below. 
08:30
08:30:20

        LocalTime localTime1 = LocalTime.parse("01-30-40", dateTimeFormatter);
        LocalTime localTime2 = LocalTime.parse("13-20-30", dateTimeFormatter);

        System.out.println(localTime1);

    }
}
The output as below.

    public static void main(String... args) {
        int hour = 20;
        int minute = 30;
        int second = 20;

        LocalTime localTime = LocalTime.of(hour, minute, second);
        DateTimeFormatter dateTimeFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("hh:mm:ss a");
        String localTimeString = localTime.format(dateTimeFormatter);

        System.out.println(localTimeString);

        System.out.println("localTime2: " + localTime2);
        System.out.println("localTime3: " + localTime3);
        System.out.println("localTime1 compareTo localTime2: " + compareToResult1);
        System.out.println("localTime1 compareTo localTime3: " + compareToResult2);
        System.out.println("localTime3 compareTo localTime1: " + compareToResult3);
    }
}
The output as below. 
localTime1: 08:30:40.000000999
localTime2: 08:30:40.000000999
localTime3: 09:40:50.000000999
localTime1 compareTo localTime2: 0
localTime1 compareTo localTime3: -1
localTime3 compareTo localTime1: 1

Compare two LocalTime objects for Equality

In LocalTime class we can use the equals() method to compare two LocalTime objects for equality as below.

LocalTimeExample33.java 

import java.time.LocalTime;

public class LocalTimeExample33 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        LocalTime localTime1 = LocalTime.of(8, 30, 40, 999);
        LocalTime localTime2 = LocalTime.of(8, 30, 40, 999);
        LocalTime localTime3 = LocalTime.of(9, 40, 50, 999);

        boolean result1 = localTime1.equals(localTime2);
        boolean result2 = localTime1.equals(localTime3);

        System.out.println("localTime1: " + localTime1);
        System.out.println("localTime2: " + localTime2);
        System.out.println("localTime3: " + localTime3);
        System.out.println("localTime1 is equals to localTime2: " + result1);
        System.out.println("localTime1 is equals to localTime3: " + result2);
    }
}
The output as below. 
localTime1: 08:30:40.000000999
localTime2: 08:30:40.000000999
localTime3: 09:40:50.000000999
localTime1 is equals to localTime2: true
localTime1 is equals to localTime3: false

Check if LocalTime is before another LocalTime

The LocalTime class provides the isBefore() method which can be used to check if a LocalTime object is before another LocalTime object or not. We learn how to use the LocalTime.isBefore() method in the following example Java code.

LocalTimeExample34.java 

import java.time.LocalTime;

public class LocalTimeExample34 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        LocalTime localTime1 = LocalTime.of(8, 30, 40, 999);
        LocalTime localTime2 = LocalTime.of(8, 30, 40, 999);
        LocalTime localTime3 = LocalTime.of(9, 40, 50, 999);

        boolean result1 = localTime1.isBefore(localTime2);
        boolean result2 = localTime1.isBefore(localTime3);

        System.out.println("localTime1: " + localTime1);
        System.out.println("localTime2: " + localTime2);
        System.out.println("localTime3: " + localTime3);
        System.out.println("localTime1 is before localTime2: " + result1);
        System.out.println("localTime1 is before localTime3: " + result2);
    }
}
The output as below. 
localTime1: 08:30:40.000000999
localTime2: 08:30:40.000000999
localTime3: 09:40:50.000000999
localTime1 is before localTime2: false
localTime1 is before localTime3: true

Check if LocalTime is after another LocalTime

The LocalTime class provides the isAfter() method which can be used to check if a LocalTime object is after another LocalTime object or not. We learn how to use the LocalTime.isAfter() method in the following example Java code.

LocalTimeExample35.java 

import java.time.LocalTime;

public class LocalTimeExample35 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        LocalTime localTime1 = LocalTime.of(8, 30, 40, 999);
        LocalTime localTime2 = LocalTime.of(8, 30, 40, 999);
        LocalTime localTime3 = LocalTime.of(7, 40, 50, 999);

        boolean result1 = localTime1.isAfter(localTime2);
        boolean result2 = localTime1.isAfter(localTime3);

        System.out.println("localTime1: " + localTime1);
        System.out.println("localTime2: " + localTime2);
        System.out.println("localTime3: " + localTime3);
        System.out.println("localTime1 is after localTime2: " + result1);
        System.out.println("localTime1 is after localTime3: " + result2);
    }
}
The output as below. 
localTime1: 08:30:40.000000999
localTime2: 08:30:40.000000999
localTime3: 07:40:50.000000999
localTime1 is after localTime2: false
localTime1 is after localTime3: true
