I have a need to format times as either
24:mm
or
12:mm
am
That is, if the user prefers a 24-hour clock, I want it to appear on a single line. If the user prefers a 12-hour clock, I want the AM/PM designator to be rendered underneath the time (in smaller type).
Unfortunately, there's no format specifier for the hours of the day that indicates "use the user's preferred format."
If I could determine the user's preference, then I'd just format it appropriately. Alternatively, I can use the "short" format style, and then parse out the AM/PM, but that seems more fragile across locales (are there locales that use something other than "am" and "pm"?).
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rick
