Formatting LocalTime Minutes/Seconds into Integer Java

Question

I know there are similiar questions but they don't answer my problem. I want to format the current time into Integer, but only the Minutes or Seconds.

So for example

LocalTime d = LocalTime.now(ZoneId.of("GMT"));

gives me the current GMT and with "withNano(0)" I can aswell cut off the nanoseconds. Since I have it in the format 12:15:45 now I want to be able to save 15 (Minutes) into my Integer or 45 (Seconds). How can I convert it?

Answer 1

You can call specific methods on the LocalTime such as getMinute() and getSecond(), or you can use a DateTimeFormatter with a pattern that you’re looking for, like:

d.format(DateTimeFormatter.of(“mm:ss”);

If you’re doing that, you don’t need to zero out the nano first.
