Solution

Use this function, you can extend it with dates if you want after:

public static void checkTimings() {
    String pattern = "HH:mm";
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);

    try {
        Date date1 = sdf.parse(Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) + ":" + Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.MINUTE));
        Date date2 = sdf.parse("18:00");
        if (date1.before(date2)){
            //before 6pm
        } else {
            //after 6pm
        }
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
