How can I create date and time settings dialog in Android? I want:
3 fields - day, hours and minutes
it should look native to the system - that makes writing my own widget quite hard - how to make the plus/minus buttons above/below each field look like the standard buttons that are in TimePickerDialog? I mean even on HTC Sense.

I need to change the time on my LG Optimus M (Metro PCS) to compensate for the day light saving. however I can't find from where should I do it, I don't see anything else other than the time and date format under Date and time settings. I read about a Client NTP which solves the problem, however your phone needs to be rooted, is it safe to root them and run the Client NTP?Also is there any other ways to change the time?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Samsung centura. If I let the battery get too low the phone defaults back two hours. Today all of the sudden it was set 6 hours ahead... FB says my current posts were yesterday and the responses are tomorrow. Confusing. My usual fix of turning off and back on the automatic date and time has no effect. According to my settings I am set tothe eastern us time zone which I am. I manually changed the settings but that seems to be a temporary fix. What am I doing wrong?

but they are not that sexy and user friendly (I found). Do you know if a widget including both date and time exists? Thanks a lot,WW.
Is there a way to get the time or date stamp of the last time the GPS was updated?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently received an LG optimus f3 with android 4.1.2.
After activating the phone, it displayed the correct date and time for my time zone, so I didn't mess around with settings to reset the time, as I would with any other device.
However, I've noticed that the time changes to exactly an hour ahead, before changing itself back several minutes later.
I went to settings > date and time, but 24 hour time and selecting a date format are the only options listed.
I prefer to leave mobile data off when I am at home and can use the wi-fi. Is it necessary to have mobile data turned on, so the phone can receive the time from a cell tower, or is there a way I can set an internal clock?
As you probably know, you can setup date format in the Settings of an Android device. In code how do we make sure that we use that format for date display?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a strange problem when parsing a ISO8601 date and time with SimpleDateFormat.
The relevant code is:
CODE:........
For input I'm giving it a string
2010-09-06T15:30:00+02:00
And as a return I get a Date object with date set to 6th of January 2010 with time of 13:30 and timezone of GMT+00:00.
I also tried using "2010-09-06T15:30:00+0200" with same results.
Confusing thing is, that the date set is partially correct, just the month is set wrongly.
The issue is shown on Android 1.6 and Android 2.2.
By any means, programmatically can I get the install date & time of the already installed apps on the android device. The ApplicationInfo doesn't provide this info. While digging through the /data folder through the DDMS perspective, I saw the installed apk's do contains the Date & time of when it was installed, but the sad part is that this /data folder is not accessible on the device programmatically.

What will Date.getTime() returns in a region with Daylight Saving Time enabled? Does this function returns a DST time or not? I call Date.getTime() in a place with DST (such as U.S.), and convert it to a local time in China (no DST), I get a wrong time (one hour ahead of local time in China). How can I fixed this problem?Maybe I didn't tell tings clearly, but we don't use DST in China... I don't understand DST very well.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI know I can use android.text.format.DateFormat.getDateFormat() to format my dates, and android.text.format.DateFormat.getTimeFormat to format my times, but how do I format a datetime? Similar to the getDateTimeInstance method from java.text.DateFormat. I'm currently just concatenating the result of both the getDateFormat and getTimeFormat's formatters, but I don't know which way around the user prefers to have their dates and times shown.

I couldn't find a thread that addressed this, sorry if it's been asked before!Here is my question: Is there a way to display the EXACT time of a call or text on the Ally and not just have it say 'yesterday' or '2 hours ago', etc. I can't find it in any settings and I can't seem to find an app for it. With my job I have to fill out a very detailed field report requiring exact times I spoke with someone, did something, etc. and I used to use my text messages as a way to keep record of this. If there is a way to do this it could make my life much easier!Disclaimer: After reading several posts here I see that I'm pretty technologically impaired in the span of droid users, so go on and treat me like I don't understand you're computer lingo because you're probably right.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'd like to set the ringer mode to silent for specific events in the future. It should only happen if a checkbox in the preferences is checked. I know that I have to update the manifest for the permissions and also that I can set the ringer mode with something like this:
if (getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE).getBoolean(PREFS_KEY_SILENTOPTION, false)) {
AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(AUDIO_SERVICE);
audioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);
}
But how can I set (and reset) it for a space of time in the future?
Which one should I use java.util.Date or android.text.format.Time? It seems you can accomplish what one needs to do with either. What I need to do is at times get the current date and time and sometimes set a date and time specified by the user.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI love my new Droid, but if I can't use it for work, I can't use it period. Anyway, here is the problem. I have a website which interfaces with the main dispatch server at Fujitsu Transaction Solutions. I wanted a phone that would let me go to that website and post dates and times for jobs to which I have been dispatched. Unfortunately, on the Android browser, the date and time fields are each 1 space short of being able to hold dates and times, i.e. the time fields are 3 spaces, but I need to put in, say, 1800 for 6 pm. Follow? It is hard to explain.
There is what I think is a Java applet that lets you select a date by clicking on a little calendar icon. I am sure you have seen these on travel websites. This icon does not show up on the Android browser. I checked the Android browser's Java compatibility, and it passed. I tried the 1nternet and Opera browsers, as well. 1nternet has the same issue, and Opera apparently does not work with Android 2.0, yet. I couldn't go to any typed-in URL with Opera.

Please email me and I'll attach the tDurator.apk for you. I need feedback about the working state of the app when rotating the Nexus 1 device, but anyone having at least Android system 1.5 (level 3 on the SDK) can run the app. The app is signed for release and in not harm to the phone.
