limiting the length of a string

Question

I have a string that says 15:00:00 how can I limit the length of the string so it says 15:00 ?

Limit it while taking input from user or limit it for the purpose of application? — Kazekage Gaara

For dates

Date date = new Date(); SimpleDateFormat sd = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm"); sd.format(date); //will return formatted date

Try this,

String time = "15:00:00"; time = time.subString(0,time.lastIndexOf(":"));
