Something like this:

B4X:

Dim s As String =14 & ":" & 0 & ":" & 0    
    Dim l As Long =DateTime.TimeParse(s)
    DateTime.Timeformat ="hh:mm:ss a"  
    Log(DateTime.Time(l))  '02:00:00 PM

remove the seconds from the format if you do not want them

DateTime.Timeformat is a string so you can save it before the change and restore it afterwards.

eg.

B4X:

private originaltimeformat as string = datetime.timeformat
DateTime.Timeformat ="hh:mm:ss a" 
Log(DateTime.Time(l))  '02:00:00 PM
datetime.timeformat = originaltimeformat

One more thing, if i want 24 hour time format then below syntax is correct?

B4X:

 DateTime.Timeformat="hh:mm"

Aslo, how to parse time when I set time format as "hh:mm a"?

There is a link in the description to the format methods.

The one for time format links to this page https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
