1. LocalTime

The LocalTime class represents local time. It does not include date and time zone information. LocalTime includes hours, minutes, seconds, even nanoseconds (1 second = 1 billion nanoseconds).
  • Java 8 Date Time API Overview
The LocalTime class is in the java.time package. Just like other classes introduced in Java 8 Date Time API, LocalTime is immutable, which means all computations on LocalTime create a new LocalTime object, so it's safe when used in multithreading environments.
public final class LocalTime
        implements Temporal, TemporalAdjuster, Comparable<LocalTime>, Serializable

2. Static Factory Methods

No ADS
The LocalTime class does not provide any constructor, but it provides static factory methods to create new objects:
public static LocalTime now()

public static LocalTime now(ZoneId zone)

public static LocalTime now(Clock clock)  

public static LocalTime of(int hour, int minute)

public static LocalTime of(int hour, int minute, int second)

public static LocalTime of(int hour, int minute, int second, int nanoOfSecond)

public static LocalTime ofInstant(Instant instant, ZoneId zone)

public static LocalTime ofSecondOfDay(long secondOfDay)  

public static LocalTime ofNanoOfDay(long nanoOfDay)

public static LocalTime from(TemporalAccessor temporal)

public static LocalTime parse(CharSequence text)  

public static LocalTime parse(CharSequence text, DateTimeFormatter formatter)
Create a LocalTime object representing the current time obtained from the system clock and default time zone (On your computer).
// Current time from the system clock in the default time-zone.
LocalTime localTime = LocalTime.now();
System.out.println("localTime: " + localTime);
Create a LocalTime object representing the current time from a specified clock:
// Clock from system default zone
Clock clockDefault = Clock.systemDefaultZone();

Clock clock = Clock.system(ZoneId.of("Europe/Paris"));

// Current time from the specified clock.
LocalTime localTime = LocalTime.now(clock);
System.out.println("localTime: " + localTime); // 19:51:11.990871 (Example)
  • Java Clock
Create a LocalTime object representing the current time from a specified ZoneId:
// System default zone
ZoneId zoneIdDefault = ZoneId.systemDefault();

ZoneId zoneId = ZoneId.of("Australia/Sydney");
LocalTime localTime = LocalTime.now(zoneId);

System.out.println("Now is: " + localTime); // 03:56:06.006877 (Example)
Create a LocalTime object from the specified hour, minute, second, nanoOfSecond values:
// of(int hour, int minute, int second, int nanoOfSecond)
LocalTime localTime1 = LocalTime.of(13, 10, 20, 12345);  
System.out.println("localTime1: " + localTime1); // 13:10:20.000012345

// of(int hour, int minute, int second)
LocalTime localTime2 = LocalTime.of(13, 10, 20);
System.out.println("localTime2: " + localTime2); // 13:10:20

// of(int hour, int minute)
LocalTime localTime3 = LocalTime.of(13, 10);
System.out.println("localTime3: " + localTime3); // 13:10
Create a LocalTime object with the specified Instant and ZoneId objects:
LocalTime_ofInstant_ex1.java
// ofInstant(Instant instant, ZoneId zone)
Instant instant = Instant.now();
ZoneId zoneId = ZoneId.systemDefault();

LocalTime localTime = LocalTime.ofInstant(instant, zoneId);
System.out.println("localTime: " + localTime);
  • Java Instant
Create a LocalTime object from parsing a date-formatted text:
// parse(CharSequence text)  
LocalTime localTime1 = LocalTime.parse("10:15:30"); // 10:15:30
System.out.println("localTime1: " + localTime1);

// parse(CharSequence text, DateTimeFormatter formatter)
DateTimeFormatter fmt2 = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("HH:mm");

LocalTime localTime2 = LocalTime.parse("13:15", fmt2); // 13:15
System.out.println("localTime2: " + localTime2);
  • Java DateTimeFormatter
  • Java Date Time Format Pattern
Create a LocalTime object from a specified TemporalAccessor object.
// from(TemporalAccessor temporal)
TemporalAccessor nowDatetime = LocalDateTime.now();
System.out.println("LocalDateTime.now(): " + nowDatetime);

LocalTime nowTime = LocalTime.from(nowDatetime);
System.out.println("nowTime: " + nowTime);

3. isAfter(..), isBefore(..)

No ADS
The isBefore(LocalTime) method is used to check if this LocalTime object is before another given LocalTime object.
The isAfter(LocalTime) method is used to check if this LocalDate object is after another given LocalTime object.
public boolean isAfter(LocalTime other)  

public boolean isBefore(LocalTime other)
localTime1 is before localTime2.
Example:
LocalTime_isBefore_isAfter_ex1.java
package org.o7planning.localtime.ex;

import java.time.LocalTime;

public class LocalTime_isBefore_isAfter_ex1 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        LocalTime localTime1 = LocalTime.parse("10:20"); // 10:20
        LocalTime localTime2 = LocalTime.parse("21:15:30.12345"); // 21:15:30.123450
        
        
        System.out.println("localTime1: " + localTime1); // 10:20
        System.out.println("localTime2: " + localTime2); // 21:15:30.123450
        System.out.println();
        
        System.out.println("localTime1.isBefore(localTime2): " + localTime1.isBefore(localTime2)); // true
        System.out.println("localTime1.isAfter(localTime2): " + localTime1.isAfter(localTime2)); // false  
    }
}
Output:
localTime1: 10:20
localTime2: 21:15:30.123450

localTime1.isBefore(localTime2): true
localTime1.isAfter(localTime2): false

4. format(DateTimeFormatter)

No ADS
Format this LocalTime object with a specified DateTimeFormatter.
public String format(DateTimeFormatter formatter)
Example:
LocalTime_format_ex1.java
LocalTime localTime = LocalTime.parse("10:15:30.12345");  
System.out.println("localTime: " + localTime); // 10:15:30.123450
System.out.println();

// '10:15', '10:15:30' or '10:15:30+01:00'.
DateTimeFormatter fmt1 = DateTimeFormatter.ISO_TIME;  
System.out.println("ISO_TIME: " + localTime.format(fmt1)); // 10:15:30.12345

DateTimeFormatter fmt2 = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("HH:mm");  
System.out.println("HH:mm: " + localTime.format(fmt2)); // 10:15

public int getHour()  
public int getMinute()  
public int getSecond()  
public int getNano()
The methods getHour(), getMinute(), getSecond() are also understood in a similar way as the names imply.
