你也可以使用android.os.SystemClock。 例如，SystemClock.elapsedRealtime()将在手机处于睡眠状态时为您提供更准确的时间读数。

你可以(但不再应该-见下文!)使用android.text.format.Time:

Time now = new Time();
now.setToNow();

从上面的参考链接:

Time类是一个更快的替代品 为java.util.Calendar和 java.util.GregorianCalendar类。 Time类的实例 表示指定的时间点 精准度第二。

注1: 我写这个答案已经有好几年了， 它是关于一个旧的，android专用的，现在已被弃用的类。 谷歌现在这样说 “他的类有一些问题，建议使用公历代替”。

注2:尽管Time类有一个toMillis(ignoreDaylightSavings)方法，但这只是为了方便传递给以毫秒为单位的方法。时间值仅精确到一秒;毫秒部分总是000。如果在循环中，你会这样做

Time time = new Time();   time.setToNow();
Log.d("TIME TEST", Long.toString(time.toMillis(false)));
... do something that takes more than one millisecond, but less than one second ...

结果序列将重复相同的值，例如1410543204000，直到下一秒开始，此时1410543205000将开始重复。

你可以用:

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;

Date currentTime = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();

Calendar中有许多常量可以满足您的所有需要。

检查Calendar类文档。

SimpleDateFormat databaseDateTimeFormate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
SimpleDateFormat databaseDateFormate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yy");
SimpleDateFormat sdf2 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' hh:mm:ss z");
SimpleDateFormat sdf3 = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, MMM d, ''yy");
SimpleDateFormat sdf4 = new SimpleDateFormat("h:mm a");
SimpleDateFormat sdf5 = new SimpleDateFormat("h:mm");
SimpleDateFormat sdf6 = new SimpleDateFormat("H:mm:ss:SSS");
SimpleDateFormat sdf7 = new SimpleDateFormat("K:mm a,z");
SimpleDateFormat sdf8 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MMMMM.dd GGG hh:mm aaa");


String currentDateandTime = databaseDateTimeFormate.format(new Date());     //2009-06-30 08:29:36
String currentDateandTime = databaseDateFormate.format(new Date());     //2009-06-30
String currentDateandTime = sdf1.format(new Date());     //30.06.09
String currentDateandTime = sdf2.format(new Date());     //2009.06.30 AD at 08:29:36 PDT
String currentDateandTime = sdf3.format(new Date());     //Tue, Jun 30, '09
String currentDateandTime = sdf4.format(new Date());     //8:29 PM
String currentDateandTime = sdf5.format(new Date());     //8:29
String currentDateandTime = sdf6.format(new Date());     //8:28:36:249
String currentDateandTime = sdf7.format(new Date());     //8:29 AM,PDT
String currentDateandTime = sdf8.format(new Date());     //2009.June.30 AD 08:29 AM

日期格式

G   Era designator (before christ, after christ)
y   Year (e.g. 12 or 2012). Use either yy or yyyy.
M   Month in year. Number of M's determine length of format (e.g. MM, MMM or MMMMM)
d   Day in month. Number of d's determine length of format (e.g. d or dd)
h   Hour of day, 1-12 (AM / PM) (normally hh)
H   Hour of day, 0-23 (normally HH)
m   Minute in hour, 0-59 (normally mm)
s   Second in minute, 0-59 (normally ss)
S   Millisecond in second, 0-999 (normally SSS)
E   Day in week (e.g Monday, Tuesday etc.)
D   Day in year (1-366)
F   Day of week in month (e.g. 1st Thursday of December)
w   Week in year (1-53)
W   Week in month (0-5)
a   AM / PM marker
k   Hour in day (1-24, unlike HH's 0-23)
K   Hour in day, AM / PM (0-11)
z   Time Zone

你可以简单地使用下面的代码:

 DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm"); // Format time
 String time = df.format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());

 DateFormat df1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd"); // Format date
 String date = df1.format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());

Android中的当前时间和日期格式

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println("Current dateTime => " + c.getTime());
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss a");
String formattedDate = df.format(c.getTime());
System.out.println("Format dateTime => " + formattedDate);

输出

I/System.out: Current dateTime => Wed Feb 26 02:58:17 GMT+05:30 2020
I/System.out: Format dateTime => 26-02-2020 02:58:17 AM
