Is it possible to remove AM/PM button from TimePicker?

Question

I want to show 24 hours clock instead 12 hours using TimePicker,and I dont need the AM/PM buton, Simply want to show 24 hours clock.

Is this possible?

I used setIs24HourView(true) but it is is not working.

Suggest me How can I show 24 hours clock?

Just curious, but why does it need to be in the layout and not in the code? — brianestey, Oct 05 '11 at 05:17

Have you tried setting setIs24HourView?

If you just need use the NumberPicker widget in other abnormal ways:

There is a NumberPicker widget in Android, but it is a private API. This guy pulled out the code such that you can drop it into any project.

Here is an example of how I used it for tax rates:

(example link is dead...) Could you post how you did the double picker control separated by a decimal? That's pretty neat. – pmont Aug 16 '13 at 05:57

I've experienced the same problem but solved it by doing the setIs24HourView in the onCreate call for the activity..

You must call setIs24HourView function and send true for that.
when time picker are in 24 mode AM/PM will be disappear.

TimePicker tpHourMin = (TimePicker) findViewById(R.id.timePicker);
tpHourMin.setIs24HourView(true);

You can overrite the

public void onTimeChanged (TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int minute) 
method of TimePickerDialog to completely remove AM/PM:

class MyTimePickerDialog extends TimePickerDialog {
    MyTimePickerDialog(Context context, TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener callBack, int hourOfDay, int minute, boolean is24HourView) {
        super(context, callBack, hourOfDay, minute, is24HourView);
    }
@Override
public void onTimeChanged (TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int minute) {
    // to prevent the dialog from changing the title which by default contains AM/PM
}
}

Here is how to use it

MyTimePickerDialog dialog = new MyTimePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, hour, minute, 
                        true /*DateFormat.is24HourFormat(getActivity())*/);
dialog.setTitle("Set Time");

Is it possible to remove AM/PM button from TimePicker?
