Java – Android simpledateformat does not work

Quick questions, simpledateformat didn't perform as well as I expected I want to get a date string that looks like Thursday, November 29, 13:43

This is my format:

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();  
_clockDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("cccc dd MMMM kk:mm");  
_clockDateFormat.format(c.getTime());

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();

System.out.println(_clockDateFormat.format(c.getTime()));

Output:
