Java class to give the long string format of a date? (In words, as if spoken) -

after looking through calendar , date classes, seeems though there no conventional way of turning time word alternative. xample, if time 12:20 pm, converted twelve forty 5 p.m.

is there premade class this? half methods in date class deprecated.

while there no class want, happen have example similar this:

/**  * class take integer value, positive or negative, , translate  * printed single digit values.  * i.e. 142 = 1 4 2  *      -12 = negative 1 2  */  public class numbertranslator {  final private static string[] txt = {"zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"}; static int tempnumber; static string finalstring; static int tempnumber1; public static stringbuilder num = new stringbuilder();  public static void main(string[] args) {   if(args.length == 0)   {     system.out.println("you need pass number argument");     return;   }   numbertranslator nt = new numbertranslator();   system.out.println(nt.translate(args[0])); }  public static string translate(int number) {   return translate(string.valueof(number)); }  public static string translate(string number) {   if(!isnumeric(number))    return "";   boolean isnegative = false;   stringbuilder num = new stringbuilder();   if(number.charat(0) == '-')   {     num.append("negative ");     isnegative = true;   }   if(isnegative)   {     number = number.substring(1,number.length());     (character c : number.tochararray()) {       num.append(txt[integer.valueof(c.tostring())]).append(" ");     }   }   else   {     (character c : number.tochararray()) {       num.append(txt[integer.valueof(c.tostring())]).append(" ");     }   }   return num.tostring().trim(); }  private static boolean isnumeric(string value) {   //ignore negative character   if(value.charat(0) == '-')   {     for(int = 1; < value.length(); i++)     {       if(character.isdigit(value.charat(i)) == false)         return false;     }   }   else   {     for(int = 0; < value.length(); i++)     {       if(character.isdigit(value.charat(i)) == false)         return false;     }   }   return true; }  }
