How to make code runnable only for certain period of time

Question

How to make condition like

the code will only run between

9AM to 10PM How do I make it on if statement? or whatever method you guys have?

if(timeNow >= 9PM && timeNow <= 10PM){
//do coding
}else{
//Code won't execute because its not inside of the scope.
}

More context, please. Can you post the code you want to run? Feels more like a scheduler or scripting problem, not Java. — duffymo, Mar 01 '19 at 15:11

@JohnSmith Could you share more details of the requirement? If not code at least an example of what the code does. — lalo, Mar 01 '19 at 15:16
What kind of framework do you use? Do you use any extern library? — curiouscupcake, Mar 01 '19 at 15:20

So you want your app to only be able to start between 9am and 10pm? What if it's already running when 10pm hits? Should it get the time from the local device ( then changing the device time would allow you to bypass this limit ) or should it listen to time from an online api ( then you would require an internet connection to be able to start the app ). — Ivan Furdek, Mar 01 '19 at 15:27

If you don't mind time zone, you can use LocalDateTime. getHour() method will return hour-of-day (0 to 23).

int timeNow = LocalDateTime.now().getHour();
if(timeNow >= 9 && timeNow <= 10) {
  ...
} else {
  ...
}
