从Java 9开始，这变得更容易了。Duration仍然是不可格式化的，但是添加了获取小时、分钟和秒的方法，这使得任务更简单:

    LocalDateTime start = LocalDateTime.of(2019, Month.JANUARY, 17, 15, 24, 12);
    LocalDateTime end = LocalDateTime.of(2019, Month.JANUARY, 18, 15, 43, 33);
    Duration diff = Duration.between(start, end);
    String hms = String.format("%d:%02d:%02d", 
                                diff.toHours(), 
                                diff.toMinutesPart(), 
                                diff.toSecondsPart());
    System.out.println(hms);

这个代码片段的输出是:

24:19:21

在scala中(我看到了一些其他的尝试，并没有留下深刻的印象):

def formatDuration(duration: Duration): String = {
  import duration._ // get access to all the members ;)
  f"$toDaysPart $toHoursPart%02d:$toMinutesPart%02d:$toSecondsPart%02d:$toMillisPart%03d"
}

看起来很可怕，是吗?好吧，这就是为什么我们使用ide来编写这些东西，以便方法调用($toHoursPart等)是不同的颜色。

f"…"是一个printf/String。格式样式字符串插补器(它允许$ code注入工作) 给定输出1 14:06:32.583,f插值的字符串将等效于string。格式(“1% 02 d: % 2 d: % 2 d。%03d"， 14,6,32,583)

这可能有点俗气，但如果你决心使用Java 8的Java .time来实现这一点，这是一个很好的解决方案:

import java.time.Duration;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatterBuilder;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoField;
import java.time.temporal.Temporal;
import java.time.temporal.TemporalAccessor;
import java.time.temporal.TemporalField;
import java.time.temporal.UnsupportedTemporalTypeException;

public class TemporalDuration implements TemporalAccessor {
    private static final Temporal BASE_TEMPORAL = LocalDateTime.of(0, 1, 1, 0, 0);

    private final Duration duration;
    private final Temporal temporal;

    public TemporalDuration(Duration duration) {
        this.duration = duration;
        this.temporal = duration.addTo(BASE_TEMPORAL);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isSupported(TemporalField field) {
        if(!temporal.isSupported(field)) return false;
        long value = temporal.getLong(field)-BASE_TEMPORAL.getLong(field);
        return value!=0L;
    }

    @Override
    public long getLong(TemporalField field) {
        if(!isSupported(field)) throw new UnsupportedTemporalTypeException(new StringBuilder().append(field.toString()).toString());
        return temporal.getLong(field)-BASE_TEMPORAL.getLong(field);
    }

    public Duration getDuration() {
        return duration;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return dtf.format(this);
    }

    private static final DateTimeFormatter dtf = new DateTimeFormatterBuilder()
            .optionalStart()//second
            .optionalStart()//minute
            .optionalStart()//hour
            .optionalStart()//day
            .optionalStart()//month
            .optionalStart()//year
            .appendValue(ChronoField.YEAR).appendLiteral(" Years ").optionalEnd()
            .appendValue(ChronoField.MONTH_OF_YEAR).appendLiteral(" Months ").optionalEnd()
            .appendValue(ChronoField.DAY_OF_MONTH).appendLiteral(" Days ").optionalEnd()
            .appendValue(ChronoField.HOUR_OF_DAY).appendLiteral(" Hours ").optionalEnd()
            .appendValue(ChronoField.MINUTE_OF_HOUR).appendLiteral(" Minutes ").optionalEnd()
            .appendValue(ChronoField.SECOND_OF_MINUTE).appendLiteral(" Seconds").optionalEnd()
            .toFormatter();

}

我不确定这是你想要的，但检查这个Android helper类

import android.text.format.DateUtils

例如:DateUtils.formatElapsedTime()

Android date duration elapsedtime

我使用Apache common的DurationFormatUtils，就像这样:

DurationFormatUtils.formatDuration(millis, "**H:mm:ss**", true);
