How to extract time for local time zone

Hi All

I want to extract time for my local time zone which i have set in my personal information

 

like  consider apex code below:

 

DateTime cDT = system.Now();

String localDateTime = cDT.format();

 

now localDateTime will be like 4/1/2011 4:22 PM

 

I want to extract 4:22 PM out of this

 

One method given in salesforce documentation is hour,minute methods. But this method takes datetime as argument. But our format method returnes a string.

 

The solution may be convert the string returned by format method to datetime type.

But could not. i tried parse method. it converted my local time back to GMT Time. Secondly i tried valueOf Method. But it accepts string in a specific format. 

 

Please help me solving this problem. I have tries from my side. searched on net. but got no solution

i tried the same for extracting date too

Just for the help of others i am posting this here

date can be extracted via same method

 

Datetime cDT = System.now();

String currentDate = cDT.format('d:M:yyyy ');
