        controller:timeinController ,
        readOnly:true,

                  TimeOfDay pickedTime =  await showTimePicker(
                          initialTime: TimeOfDay.now(),
                          context: context,
                      );
        if(pickedTime != null ){
                      print(pickedTime.format(context));   //output 7:10 PM
                      setState(() {
                        timeinController.text = pickedTime.format(context);  //set the value of text field. 
                      });
                  }else{

TimeOfDay does not include seconds but DateTime provides it so you can get the second from DateTime and append it to TimeOfDay like below.

      TextField(
              decoration: InputDecoration(labelText: 'Time in',hintText: "Time in",icon: Icon(Icons.timer)),
              // controller: timeinController ,
              readOnly:true,
              onTap: () async {
                TimeOfDay? pickedTime =  await showTimePicker(
                  initialTime: TimeOfDay.now(),
                  context: context,
                );
                if(pickedTime != null ){
                  DateTime date = DateTime.now();
                  String second = date.second.toString().padLeft(2, '0');
                  List timeSplit = pickedTime.format(context).split(' ');
                  String formattedTime = timeSplit[0];
                  String time = '$formattedTime:$second';
                  String type = '';
                  if(timeSplit.length > 1) {
                    type = timeSplit[1];
                    time = '$time $type';
                  }

                  print(time); //output 7:10:00 PM
                  setState(() {
                    timeinController.text = pickedTime.format(context);  //set the value of text field.
                  });
                }else{
                  print("Time is not selected");
                }
              },
            )

i am getting this output from variable time 10:05 PM:00, but i want it like this 10:05:00 PM — TimeToCode, Jul 28 '21 at 11:07
Ohh okay. I guess i forgot about the 12hour date format. I'll fix that — JideGuru, Jul 28 '21 at 11:16
