Java OffsetTime

The Java OffsetTime class is an immutable and thread-safe class that represents a time, in the format of hour-minute-second-offset. 

How to use

The OffsetTime class can be used to store all time fields, to a precision of nanoseconds, as well as a zone offset. For example, the value “10:30.20.123456789+02:00” can be stored in an OffsetTime. Try the following examples to better understand –

Now example

The following example program shows how you can create an instance of OffsetTime and get the current time.

OffsetTimeExample1.javaCopy
import java.time.OffsetTime;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoField;

public class OffsetTimeExample1 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Create instance of OffsetTime
        OffsetTime offset = OffsetTime.now();

        // Print local time
        System.out.println(offset);
    }
}
Try It

Different fields example

The following example program shows how you can get different fields from OffsetTime.

OffsetTimeExample2.javaCopy
import java.time.OffsetTime;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoField;

public class OffsetTimeExample2 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Create instance of OffsetTime
        OffsetTime offset = OffsetTime.now();

        // Get hour of day field
        int hour = offset.get(ChronoField.HOUR_OF_DAY);
        System.out.println(hour);

        // Get minute of day field
        int minute = offset.get(ChronoField.MINUTE_OF_DAY);
        System.out.println(minute);

        // Get second of day field
        int second = offset.get(ChronoField.SECOND_OF_DAY);
        System.out.println(second);
    }
}

Format example

The following example program shows how you can format and print time.

OffsetTimeExample3.javaCopy
import java.time.OffsetTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

public class OffsetTimeExample3 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Create instance of OffsetTime
        OffsetTime offset = OffsetTime.now();

        // Create formatter
        DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("hh:mm:ss a");
        System.out.println(offset.format(formatter));
    }
}
