Try to get in the habit of using code tags when posting code .. you might want to edit your previous posts.
[Code] code goes here ... [/Code]

Also you might want to bookmark this as it will come in handy ... http://developer.android.com/reference/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html


Edit : Just noticed , Your Time format should be ...

DateTime.TimeFormat= "hh:mm:ss"
