6,833 PointsStormy AM and PM values are wrong, how do I change them?
App is working perfectly, except my PM values should be AM and vice versa. Unsure where I should change things: getHour?
public String getHour() {
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("h a");
Date date = new Date(mTime *1000);
return formatter.format(date);
}
getTimezone isn't being used... or should I change another class even?
reply for other parts of my code, really unsure what I should put up

Guess Ben forgot it during the video. Without it I'm getting hours starting at 3 PM while the time at the location I'm getting the weather for is 9 PM. So if I add the line to take the timezone into account, the hours are starting at 9 PM as it should be.
public String getHour() {
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("h a");
formatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(getTimezone())); // <--- this line
Date dateTime = new Date(getTime() * 1000);
return formatter.format(dateTime);
}
This is in Hour.java btw.
