No you don't. You decide what format you want to display and use the
corresponding pattern in the getFormat method.
If you want to display a date in the 24h format, you have to do:
Date myDate = new Date();
String formattedDate = DateTimeFormat.getFormat("dd/MM/yyyy
HH:mm").format(myDate);
If you want to display it in the 12h format you do:
String formattedDate = DateTimeFormat.getFormat("dd/MM/yyyy
hh:mm").format(myDate);
But please tell us what you're trying to do exactly, maybe I'm missing
something.
