LocalTime from() method in Java with Examples

The from() method of a LocalTime class helps to get instance of LocalTime from TemporalAccessor object passed as parameter to method. A TemporalAccessor represents an arbitrary set of date and time information and this method helps to get a LocalTime based on the specified TemporalAccessor object. 

Syntax:

public static LocalTime from(TemporalAccessor temporal)

Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter temporal which is the temporal object. It should not be null. 

Return value: This method returns the local time from temporal object, not null 

Exception: This method throws a DateTimeException if unable to convert to a LocalTime. 

Below programs illustrate the from() method: 

Program 1: 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// LocalTime.from() method
 
import java.time.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // create a ZonedDateTime object
        ZonedDateTime zonedDateTime
            = ZonedDateTime.now();
 
        // apply from()
        LocalTime value
            = LocalTime.from(zonedDateTime);
 
        // print result
        System.out.println("LocalTime value : "
                           + value);
    }
}


Output:

LocalTime value : 06:17:32.760

Program 2: 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// LocalTime.from() method
 
import java.time.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // create a OffsetDateTime object
        OffsetDateTime offset
            = OffsetDateTime.now();
 
        // apply from()
        LocalTime value = LocalTime.from(offset);
 
        // print result
        System.out.println("LocalTime value : "
                           + value);
    }
}


Output:

LocalTime value : 06:17:35.131
