[Tutorial]Better Time Formatting

Hi Everyone, i am DevRosemberg and i bring this guide to you to show you how to turn this horrible 120 seconds Into this:
2:00

Using a really simple Util, this is the code:

Code:java

public static String formatIntoHHMMSS(int secs)
{
int remainder = secs % 3600;
int minutes = remainder / 60;
int seconds = remainder % 60;
 
return new StringBuilder().append(minutes).append(":").append(seconds < 10 ? "0" : "").append(seconds).toString();
}

Now i am going to create a simple Util named TimeUtil:

Code:java

public class TimeUtil {
 
public static String formatIntoHHMMSS(int secs)
{
int remainder = secs % 3600;
int minutes = remainder / 60;
int seconds = remainder % 60;
 
return new StringBuilder().append(minutes).append(":").append(seconds < 10 ? "0" : "").append(seconds).toString();
}
 
}

When you want to turn your time into a Human readable format using this code simply do:

Code:java

Int time = 60;
String timeString = TimeUtil.formatIntoHHMMSS(GameUtil.this.time);
//And when you check what time is and broadcast a message do:
If (GameUtil.this.time == 60) {
Bukkit.broadcastMessage(timeString + “left!”);
}

This code will help you turn that horrible 120 into 2:00
I hope his helped you and See you in another Guide!

Regards, Dev

My code :c

 

o geez, le sexy wild catfight now! (I wish I even knew what this does)

 

new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss")).format(new java.util.Date(seconds * 1000L));
done...

 

Aangiix3
Nope

 

Actually, yes, the 2 methods do almost the exact same thing, but a few changes would need to be made to Aangiix3 's method for it to work.

 

macguy8 What i ment is that Aangiix3 's Code wont work atm.

 

How wouldn't said code work...?
