How to set time to 24 hour format in Calendar

Question

I need to set the time on the current date  The time string is always in 24 hour format but the result I get is wrong     SimpleDateFormat df   new SimpleDateFormat  kk mm      Date d1   df parse  10 30      Calendar c1   Calendar getInstance      c1 set Calendar HOUR  d1 getHours       c1 set Calendar MINUTE  d1 getMinutes       The date should be today s date and the time set to 10 30  Instead the time in c1 ends up being 22 30  How can I force the calendar control to recognize my time is 24 hour format   EDIT  If I just do this   Calendar c1   Calendar getInstance    c1 set Calendar HOUR  10   c1 set Calendar MINUTE  30     This gives me the same result  Why

if you replace in the function SimpleDateFormat  hh   with   HH   will format the hour in 24 hours instead of 12   SimpleDateFormat df   new SimpleDateFormat  HH mm

Replace this   c1 set Calendar HOUR  d1 getHours       with this   c1 set Calendar HOUR OF DAY  d1 getHours       Calendar HOUR is strictly for 12 hours
