There's two way to do this:

You can convert HH:MM format to minutes, convert current time to minutes and compare.

Or you can split HH:MM at : and compare HH given by user to HH of current time and same for MM.

You could do like this:

        int hour = Integer.parseInt(YourHourEdit.getText().toString());
        int minute = Integer.parseInt(YourMinuteEdit.getText().toString());

         Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.getDefault());
        cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
        cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE,minute);
        Date inputDate = cal.getTime(); //get user input date

        Date currentDate = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.getDefault()).getTime(); //get current date

        if(inputDate.after(currentDate)){
           //compare two dates and do something
        }
