change time to readable time in kotlin

To change a time value to a readable format in Kotlin, you can use the SimpleDateFormat class. Here are the steps to achieve this:

  1. Import the SimpleDateFormat class: kotlin import java.text.SimpleDateFormat

  2. Create an instance of the SimpleDateFormat class and specify the desired date format pattern. For example, if you want to display the time in the format "HH:mm:ss", use the following code: kotlin val format = SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss")

  3. Parse the time value using the SimpleDateFormat instance created in the previous step. Assuming you have a time value in milliseconds, you can use the format() method to convert it to a readable format. For example: kotlin val timeInMillis = 1607163600000 // Sample time value in milliseconds val readableTime = format.format(timeInMillis)

  4. The format() method returns a string representing the time in the specified format. You can now use this readableTime variable wherever you want to display the formatted time.

That's it! By following these steps, you can convert a time value to a readable format in Kotlin using the SimpleDateFormat class.
