I don't know anything about berries, but in case the API is missing a proper formatting function, you can always get your hands dirty with the string itself:

static String convert(String time){

    boolean pm = "PM".equals(time.substring(6).toUpperCase());
    int h = Integer.valueOf(time.substring(0,2));

    if (h!=12)
        h+=pm?12:0;
    else
        h=pm?h:0;
    return ((h<10)?"0":"")+h + ":" + time.substring(3,5);
}

Try this code.

This will give the current time in 24 Hours format.

    SimpleDateFormat formate = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");
    String newTime = formate.formatLocal(System.currentTimeMillis());
