I had a String time format like 08:25 now how can I convert to float time value
String guestclosetime = getCurrentTime();
SimpleDateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");
timeFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
try {
    System.out.println("starttime" + TestRideFragment.getCurrentTime());
    // convert12to24format(guestclosetime);
    Date date1 = timeFormat.parse("00:20");//run
    Date date2 = timeFormat.parse(guestclosetime);
    //Date date3=timeFormat.parse(idle_time);
    long sum = date1.getTime() + date2.getTime();
    String date3 = timeFormat.format(new Date(sum));
    System.out.println("The sum is " + date3);// 08:28
now I need the date3 as float how can I do in android.
see I had a scenario as a driver drops a person at x place here I get the current time like 08:30 AM. and after dropping he needs to reach his destination and he took 20 mins this is in float need to convert as a string and if we add this 2 we need to get the total time as 08:50 now this total time need to save as float
I need like 1.30 = 1.5 like that

## java.time 和 ThreeTenABP
我建议您使用 `java.time`，这是现代的 Java 日期和时间 API，来进行时间计算。您不能使用 `Date` 来表示一段时间。而是可以使用 `LocalTime` 表示一天中的某个时间，使用 `Duration` 表示持续时间，即一段时间的长度。
```java
LocalTime dropOff = LocalTime.of(8, 30);
System.out.println("Drop-off: " + dropOff);
Duration timeToDest = Duration.ofMinutes(20);
LocalTime end = dropOff.plus(timeToDest);
System.out.println("Time at destination: " + end);

>     Drop-off: 08:30
>     Time at destination: 08:50

float hoursSinceMidnight = (float) end.getLong(ChronoField.NANO_OF_DAY)
        / (float) Duration.ofHours(1).toNanos();
System.out.println("As float: " + hoursSinceMidnight);

>     As float: 8.833334

## java.time and ThreeTenABP
I recommend that you use java.time, the modern Java date and time API, for your time math. You cannot use a `Date` for an amount of time. Instead use `LocalTime` for a time of day and `Duration` for a duration, an amount of time.
		LocalTime dropOff = LocalTime.of(8, 30);
		System.out.println(&quot;Drop-off: &quot; + dropOff);
		
		Duration timeToDest = Duration.ofMinutes(20);
		LocalTime end = dropOff.plus(timeToDest);
		System.out.println(&quot;Time at destination: &quot; + end);
Output:
&gt;     Drop-off: 08:30
&gt;     Time at destination: 08:50
To convert to a `flaot` indicating the number of hours since midnight:
		float hoursSinceMidnight = (float) end.getLong(ChronoField.NANO_OF_DAY)
				/ (float) Duration.ofHours(1).toNanos();
		System.out.println(&quot;As float: &quot; + hoursSinceMidnight);
&gt;     As float: 8.833334
## Question: Doesn’t java.time require Android API level 26?
java.time works nicely on both older and newer Android devices. It just requires at least **Java 6**.
 - In Java 8 and later and on newer Android devices (from API level 26) the modern API comes built-in.
 - In non-Android Java 6 and 7 get the ThreeTen Backport, the backport of the modern classes (ThreeTen for JSR 310; see the links at the bottom).
 - On (older) Android use the Android edition of ThreeTen Backport. It’s called ThreeTenABP. And make sure you import the date and time classes from `org.threeten.bp` with subpackages.

这里
    String date3 = timeFormat.format(new Date(sum));
    // 首先，您必须将&quot;:&quot;替换为&quot;.&quot;，以获取可以转换为浮点数的有效字符串
    String strDate = date3.replace(&quot;:&quot;, &quot;.&quot;);
    // 使用Float.valueOf()进行转换
    Float floatValue = Float.valueOf(strDate);

Here
    String date3 = timeFormat.format(new Date(sum));
    // First you have to replace &quot;:&quot; to &quot;.&quot; to get valid string that can be converted to float
    String strDate = date3.replace(&quot;:&quot;, &quot;.&quot;);
    // Use Float.value() to convert
    Float floatValue = Float.valueOf(strDate);
