Hey Everyone,

I have a lot of time information in the format of hh:mm and I was wondering if there is a good way to take this information and compare it to the current time. Say I have a list of times for a day and I want to find out which time in this array of strings is the first that has not already past in this day.

I was looking at the Calender API and I figured I could break the strings up into hours and minutes by splitting it at the ":" and then create a calender object from that but that seems rather inefficient.

Just looking for some input; thanks, Rob

<string-array name="example">
    <item>6:58</item>
    <item>7:41</item>
    <item>8:08</item>

    <item>8:48</item>
    <item>9:08</item>
    <item>9:43</item>
    <item>10:13</item>
    <item>10:43</item>
    <item>11:13</item>
    <item>11:43</item>
