How can I combine the currentMinute and currentHour into one text field so it displays in a normal time format [ex 9:30]-Collection of common programming errors

I have an application which stores the CurrentHour and CurrentMinute from a TimePicker in a sqlite database then displays it in another activity ViewCountry java

I would like to combine these two fields in and display them together 9:30 – for example in the


of view_country xml

add_country xml

Additional Info:
============

It only force closes after you click the save button in add_country:

Button android:id="@+id/saveBtn
  1. JodaTime has a LocalTime class that can be constructed with hours and minutes. It also have a toString method that is able to generate a string for a specified pattern.

  2. Your code has lot of compilation errors, And one of them is

    Your Create table statement is wrong

    String createQuery = "CREATE TABLE country (_id integer primary key autoincrement,name, cap, code,  time, min);";   
    

    you have not specified the type of the other fields i.e name,cap,code, time and min

    specify the type for them like this

    String createQuery = "CREATE TABLE country (_id integer primary key autoincrement,name text, cap text , code text ,  time text , min text );";   
    

    second :

    dbConnector.updateContact(rowID,

                                  capEt.getText().toString(),
    
    
                                  String cHour = timeEt.getCurrentHour().toString(), /* Storing as String*/
                                  String cMinute = minEt.getCurrentMinute().toString(), 
                                  String normalTimeFormat = cHour + ":" + cMinute;
    
                                  //Do whatever you want to do with normalTimeFormat
    
                                  codeEt.getText().toString());
    

    this is not the way to call method. You can’t create a new string inside the method parameter. it should be like this

     dbConnector.updateContact(rowID, nameEt.getText().toString(),capEt.getText().toString(),timeEt.getCurrentHour().toString()+":"+minEt.getCurrentMinute().toString(), codeEt.getText().toString());
