This will be on mobile devices so everyone will have a different locale, however, I need a standard time format because the device will compare the dates with my server. Also, is there a way to automatically update a 'modified' field when the data in the row is changed like you can in MySQL?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm making an app that needs to sort a Sqlite table of weeks by date and display just the date and the total hours worked that week in a listview. My activity extends listview and uses SimpleCursorAdapter to populate the listview. My date column is a TEXT field formatted like this "YYYY-MM-DD" Here is my database query function, I base my database helper class off of the google notepad example.
public Cursor getAllWeeks()
{
Cursor mCursor = mDb.query(true, DATABASE_TABLE, null, null, null, null, null, "weekdate ASC", null);
if (mCursor != null)
{
mCursor.moveToFirst();
}
return mCursor;

Am I missing something, or is it not possible to change this?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a question about the calendar app. Sorry if this has been raised before.In calendar view you can see the day and the date however if you switch to agenda it shows the date but no longer the day of the week. Is there a switch I can toggle to turn this on or an alternative calendar.Seeing the day of the week is very useful next to the date. Odd that its not included.

Newbie here. I am very serious about getting the new Spring hero. As an airline pilot traveling outside the US I have a question as to the GPS function. When I turn on the phone in another country to use the GPS function how do I update the date and time and approx location so the gps knows what sats to look for? If I don't have phone/network coverage, and I probably won't how will or update?
