android.widget.TimePicker

android.widget.TimePicker provide a special view for selecting the time of day, in either 24 hour or AM/PM mode. The hour, each minute digit, and AM/PM (if applicable) can be conrolled by vertical spinners. The hour can be entered by keyboard input. Entering in two digit hours can be accomplished by hitting two digits within a timeout of about a second (e.g. '1' then '2' to select 12). The minutes can be entered by entering single digits. Under AM/PM mode, the user can hit 'a', 'A", 'p' or 'P' to pick.

It can be set 12/24 hour mode by calling setIs24HourView() method. And also can be checked by calling it's is24HourView() method.

We can retrieve the hour and minute set by calling getCurrentHour() and getCurrentMinute() methods.

We can also implement our OnTimeChangedListener, it will be called when the time has been adjusted. - BUT, it will not be called if AM/PM button (in 12 hour mode) changed. May be it's a bug!
