[FIXED] How do I set a default time to my timepicker?

Issue

I have I time picker in my code and when I press the edit text it shows up and everything looks good but I want to set a default time for my time picker so when the user opens the time picker it will be shown a specific time like "3:34 am" as a default time for the user, how can I do that?. Any help will be appreciated. { you can use java and kotlin}

My time picker

private fun showTimePicker() {
    picker = MaterialTimePicker.Builder()
            .setTimeFormat(TimeFormat.CLOCK_12H)
            .setHour(12)
            .setMinute(0)
            .setTitleText("حدد الموعد الذي تريدة")
            .build()

    picker.show(supportFragmentManager, "AdhanNotifacations")
    picker.addOnPositiveButtonClickListener {
        if (picker.hour > 12) {
            fajrEditTxt.setHint(String.format("%02d", picker.hour - 12) + ":"
                    + String.format("%02d", picker.minute) + " PM")
        } else {
            fajrEditTxt.setHint(String.format("%02d", picker.hour) + ":"
                    + String.format("%02d", picker.minute) + " AM")
        }
        calender = Calendar.getInstance()
        calender[Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY] = picker.hour
        calender[Calendar.MINUTE] = picker.minute
        calender[Calendar.SECOND] = 0
        calender[Calendar.MILLISECOND] = 0
    }
}

Solution

You were almost there, just change the value of setHour and setMinute to the hour and minute you want respectively.

I made few changes to your code to show default time of 3:34am:

picker = MaterialTimePicker.Builder()
    .setTimeFormat(TimeFormat.CLOCK_12H)
    .setHour(3) //3 hour
    .setMinute(34) //34 minutes, so 3:34am
    .setTitleText("حدد الموعد الذي تريدة")
    .build()

If you want to show hour in PM, just add 12 to the hour. For example:

setHour(15)// will show 3pm

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

EDIT

If you want to show time in strict HH:MM format you can keep your code and go as-is. But if you do not wish to be strict, then use the following code:

For example, this will show 9:3PM instead of 09:03PM.

//removed unnecesarry String.format
if(picker.hour > 12){
    fajrEditTxt.setHint((picker.hour - 12).toString() + ":" + (picker.minute).toString() + " PM")
}else{
    fajrEditTxt.setHint((picker.hour).toString() + ":" + (picker.minute).toString() + " AM")
}

OP asked how to access time:

val time = if(picker.hour > 12){
    String.format("%02d",picker.hour - 12) + ":" + String.format("%02d", picker.minute) + " PM"
}else{
    String.format("%02d",picker.hour) + ":" + String.format("%02d", picker.minute) + " AM"
}
time //use time, its in HH:MM format
fajrEditTxt.setHint(time)
