java time string_从String获取时间(Getting time from String)

My Java code must get string "HH:MM" from console and needs to operate with it. is there possible to parse such time from string in order to add, for example,2 hours.

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

System.out.print("Enter some time:");

String enteredTime = in.readLine();

// here I want to get time in some variable

Thanks!

As result I have to get three dates and define is there three date between another dates . I understand that I can split string on parts and work with their, but I'm lloking for simple way to operate with such times.

I found good solution:

SimpleDateFormat parser = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");

Date ten = parser.parse("10:00");

Date eighteen = parser.parse("18:00");

try {

Date userDate = parser.parse(someOtherDate);

if (userDate.after(ten) && userDate.before(eighteen)) {

...

}

} catch (ParseException e) {

// Invalid date was entered

}
