Html input type time and Java Date object

Question

I have a Java date object. How it should be converted (I mean string presentation) to be displayed as HTML :

<input type='time' ng-model='myTimeFromServer'/>

myTimeFromServer in ng-model is String from server new Date().toString() I need to use input because it is predefined value that user can change.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The java date object needs to be formatted to string in the format you want. Below is snippet of code to format date in format 'dd/MM/yyyy' using SimpleDateFormat.

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
String formattedDate = sdf.format(new Date());

Answer 2

Java Date's toString only returns the date in yyyy-mm-dd format. So if you need time you should use getTime instead and use Javascript setTime on the other side. Both handles milliseconds.
