下面是在Kotlin中将java.time.Duration转换为一个漂亮的字符串的一行代码:

duration.run {
   "%d:%02d:%02d.%03d".format(toHours(), toMinutesPart(), toSecondsPart(), toMillisPart())
}

示例输出: 120:56:03.004

从Java 9开始，这变得更容易了。Duration仍然是不可格式化的，但是添加了获取小时、分钟和秒的方法，这使得任务更简单:

    LocalDateTime start = LocalDateTime.of(2019, Month.JANUARY, 17, 15, 24, 12);
    LocalDateTime end = LocalDateTime.of(2019, Month.JANUARY, 18, 15, 43, 33);
    Duration diff = Duration.between(start, end);
    String hms = String.format("%d:%02d:%02d", 
                                diff.toHours(), 
                                diff.toMinutesPart(), 
                                diff.toSecondsPart());
    System.out.println(hms);

这个代码片段的输出是:

24:19:21

在scala中，不需要库:

def prettyDuration(str:List[String],seconds:Long):List[String]={
  seconds match {
    case t if t < 60 => str:::List(s"${t} seconds")
    case t if (t >= 60 && t< 3600 ) => List(s"${t / 60} minutes"):::prettyDuration(str, t%60)
    case t if (t >= 3600 && t< 3600*24 ) => List(s"${t / 3600} hours"):::prettyDuration(str, t%3600)
    case t if (t>= 3600*24 ) => List(s"${t / (3600*24)} days"):::prettyDuration(str, t%(3600*24))
  }
}
val dur = prettyDuration(List.empty[String], 12345).mkString("")

使用这个func

private static String strDuration(long duration) {
    int ms, s, m, h, d;
    double dec;
    double time = duration * 1.0;

    time = (time / 1000.0);
    dec = time % 1;
    time = time - dec;
    ms = (int)(dec * 1000);

    time = (time / 60.0);
    dec = time % 1;
    time = time - dec;
    s = (int)(dec * 60);

    time = (time / 60.0);
    dec = time % 1;
    time = time - dec;
    m = (int)(dec * 60);

    time = (time / 24.0);
    dec = time % 1;
    time = time - dec;
    h = (int)(dec * 24);
    
    d = (int)time;
    
    return (String.format("%d d - %02d:%02d:%02d.%03d", d, h, m, s, ms));
}

下面是另一个如何格式化持续时间的示例。 注意，这个示例将正持续时间和负持续时间都显示为正持续时间。

import static java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit.DAYS;
import static java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit.HOURS;
import static java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit.MINUTES;
import static java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit.SECONDS;

import java.time.Duration;

public class DurationSample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Let's say duration of 2days 3hours 12minutes and 46seconds
        Duration d = Duration.ZERO.plus(2, DAYS).plus(3, HOURS).plus(12, MINUTES).plus(46, SECONDS);

        //in case of negative duration
        if(d.isNegative()) d = d.negated();

        //format DAYS HOURS MINUTES SECONDS 
        System.out.printf("Total duration is %sdays %shrs %smin %ssec.\n", d.toDays(), d.toHours() % 24, d.toMinutes() % 60, d.getSeconds() % 60);

        //or format HOURS MINUTES SECONDS 
        System.out.printf("Or total duration is %shrs %smin %sec.\n", d.toHours(), d.toMinutes() % 60, d.getSeconds() % 60);

        //or format MINUTES SECONDS 
        System.out.printf("Or total duration is %smin %ssec.\n", d.toMinutes(), d.getSeconds() % 60);

        //or format SECONDS only 
        System.out.printf("Or total duration is %ssec.\n", d.getSeconds());
    }
}

long duration = 4 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss.SSS", Locale.getDefault());
log.info("Duration: " + sdf.format(new Date(duration - TimeZone.getDefault().getRawOffset())));
