Your code will not compile. What is this line supposed to do?

float time=sdf2;

"but the current time that i get is in string type"

If you do Date d = new Date(); then you have a Date object that contains the time, not a String. You have to get the date out of the database first and then compare it to the current date in Java. Do you know how to get the date out of the database?

Please explain in more detail what you are trying to do, post some more of your code - otherwise it will be hard to help you...

You must have stored it in Date format in the database if I am not wrong.
And you want to convert the String in your code to date format.
you can do the following:

Date strdate=null;
SimpleDateFormat sdf2= new SimpleDateFormat("hh.mm");
strdate=sdf2.parse(Your date in String format);

Now that your String has been converted to Date format and stored in strdate,you can compare the two dates.
