You could use a Calendar.

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(st);
if (cal.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == Calendar.PM) {
  ...
}

Make sure you don't have 1 a time zone mismatch when you do this.

Calendar is probably best, but you could 2 use DateFormat, too:

String amPm = new SimpleDateFormat("aa").format(time);

The TimeZone caveat 1 also applies here.

Please try this

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd_HH_mm_ss_aa");
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    Log.d("Time", ""+dateFormat.format(cal.getTime()));
    int day = Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
    System.out.println("time => " + namesOfDays[day-1]+"_"+dateFormat.format(cal.getTime()));

use this..

String getTime(String milliseconds) {

    String time = "";
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.setTimeInMillis(Long.parseLong(milliseconds));

    time = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR) + " : " + cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE);

    if(cal.get(Calendar.AM_PM)==0)
        time=time+" AM";
    else
        time=time+" PM";

    return time;

}

Calendar can also do

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(st);
String meridiem = cal.getDisplayName(Calendar.AM_PM, Calendar.SHORT, Locale.getDefault())

meridiem now equals "PM" based 1 on your code.
