For example, I have DigitalClock and TextView in MainActivity. How to fix time in TextView (24-hour format) in a moment of time when the Application is launched?

You can try this :

String time= "Time : "  + DateFormat.getTimeFormat(getContext()).format(new Date(calendar.getTimeInMillis()));

This will return to the user smth like : " Time : 13:11"

Assuming you are using an instance of calendar somewhere in your code.

If not simply get an instance of calendar like this (it will return current device time ) :

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

public class ApplicationController extends Application{
        /**
         * A singleton instance of the application class for easy access in other places
         */
        private static ApplicationController sInstance;
        public static synchronized ApplicationController getInstance() {
            return sInstance;
        }
       private String time ;
       public String getTime(){
          return time ;
       }
        @Override
        public void onCreate() {
            super.onCreate();
              sInstance = this;
              time = System.currentTimeMillis();
        }
}
Then you can just setText.

TextView tx = findViewById(R.id.your_id);
tx.setText(ApplicationController.getInstance.getTime());
