Stormy AM and PM values are wrong, how do I change them?

App is working perfectly, except my PM values should be AM and vice versa. Unsure where I should change things: getHour?

public String getHour() {
    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("h a");
    Date date = new Date(mTime *1000);
    return formatter.format(date);
}

getTimezone isn't being used... or should I change another class even?

reply for other parts of my code, really unsure what I should put up

If there's the problem with the location you specified for the data then it might cause a problem with the time itself.

If you haven't figured it out yet, I think timezone should indeed be used in that method in order to get the correct time for the appropriate location. Guess Ben forgot it during the video. Without it I'm getting hours starting at 3 PM while the time at the location I'm getting the weather for is 9 PM. So if I add the line to take the timezone into account, the hours are starting at 9 PM as it should be.

public String getHour() {
        SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("h a");
        formatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(getTimezone())); // <--- this line
        Date dateTime = new Date(getTime() * 1000);
        return formatter.format(dateTime);
    }

This is in Hour.java btw.
