You don't need to get the time format.
Just use picker.hour. It returns the hour of day in the range [0, 23]

I want to access the am/pm selector, because I want to update my UI screen with the the selected hour, minute and am or pm in the text view, when selected by the user. – Josus Praiser Mar 19 '21 at 15:15
We cant access the selected am or pm values from the user? – Josus Praiser Mar 19 '21 at 15:26
@JosusPraiser No, you can't. – Gabriele Mariotti Mar 19 '21 at 15:51
@GabrielMariotti so in a 12 hour format ,if a user selects 9th hour, then how can we change the UI as AM/PM? – Josus Praiser Mar 21 '21 at 16:49
@JosusPraiser No way. You just can have to hour in the range 0-23 – Gabriele Mariotti Mar 22 '21 at 11:14

Try this

 val selectedTime = Calendar.getInstance()
 selectedTime[0, 0, 0, picker.hour, picker.minute] = 0

 val formattedTime = SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss a", Locale.getDefault()).format(selectedTime.time)

Output example: 09:45:00 PM
