TimePicker on PCL Xamarin project getHour, getMinutes

Question

I am trying to get hour and minutes from a timepicker on Xamarin pcl project. I want to convert them to integers. Is there a getHour or getMinutes method that i can use? I cannot find it. I need this to work on the Portable project NOT on android.

TimePicker returns a Timespan, which has Hours and Minutes properties

var time = myTimeSpan.Time;
int hour = time.Hours;
int min = time.Minutes;

Thank you sir. Do you know how to set the timePicker on the current time? (Device's time) – Thomas Athanasiou Oct 24 '17 at 18:45
yes, set the Time property. There is an example in the linked docs page – Jason Oct 24 '17 at 18:51

As Jason says, TimePicker returns a Timespan, which has Hours and Minutes properties

var time = myTimeSpan.Time;
int hour = time.Hours;
int min = time.Minutes;

In the same way you can set the Timespan based on current time as follows:

timePicker.Time = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;
