Display Seconds in ss format (01, 02) in Java

The ss format for seconds is like representing seconds 01, 02, 03, 04, etc. We will use it like this.

SimpleDateFormat("ss");

Let us see an example −

// displaying seconds in ss format simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("ss"); String strSeconds = simpleformat.format(new Date()); System.out.println("Seconds in ss format = "+strSeconds);

Above, we have used the SimpleDateFormat class, therefore the following package is imported −

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

The following is an example −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.text.Format; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; import java.util.Calendar; public class Demo { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // displaying current date and time Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); SimpleDateFormat simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("E, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss"); System.out.println("Date and time = "+simpleformat.format(cal.getTime())); // displaying date simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MMMM/yyyy"); String str = simpleformat.format(new Date()); System.out.println("Current Date = "+str); // current time simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH.mm.ss"); String strTime = simpleformat.format(new Date()); System.out.println("Current Time = "+strTime); // displaying seconds in ss format simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("ss"); String strSeconds = simpleformat.format(new Date()); System.out.println("Seconds in ss format = "+strSeconds); } }

Output

Date and time = Mon, 26 Nov 2018 10:53:04 Current Date = 26/November/2018 Current Time = 10.53.04 Seconds in ss format = 04
