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 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 form() 
        LocalTime value 
            = LocalTime.from(zonedDateTime); 
  
        // print result 
        System.out.println("LocalTime value : "
                           + value); 
    } 
} 

Output:

LocalTime value : 06:17:32.760

Program 2:

// 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 form() 
        LocalTime value = LocalTime.from(offset); 
  
        // print result 
        System.out.println("LocalTime value : "
                           + value); 
    } 
} 

Output:

LocalTime value : 06:17:35.131
