Time picker, how to set current time ?

[Gareth Murfin]

What is the easiest way to set a timer picker to use current time? 

this 

  Date now = new Date();

        timePicker.setDate(now);

causes:

 java.lang.ClassCastException - java.util.Date cannot be cast to java.lang.Integer

 setTime(timeInMins);

thanks shai, seems a strange call, so I have to manually work out how many minutes have passed since midnight?

Just get the hour from the Calendar class.

Will try thanks mate, funny thing is I alway go for your depreciated getHour() getDay() ones, they are so convnient but they will not compile. I suspect they are actually Sun's own depreciated methods, but I still wish they worked :) Keep up the good work my friend, cn1 really is feeling nice, I cannot say I like the new gui editor yet, but the old one is still serving me perfectly, I have very high hopes for the new one, but it was acting odd so Im waiting  a bit :)
