View 1 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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to develop a game, so I need to know elapsed time at lots places in my game. For example, to measuring FPS. I see there is some example use "System.currentTimeMillis" to measure elapsed time. But I see the warning on document: http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-TW/reference/java/lang/System.ht... "This method shouldn't be used for measuring timeouts or other elapsed time measurements, as changing the system time can affect the results." So, if this method should not be used for measuring elapsed time, then what will be suitable?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do I use an SQL statement on an sqllite database to insert the current date in UTC. I found the NOW function but what format is that in? 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 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?
All text messages that I receive are 6 hours ahead of the actual time on the phone. Does anyone know how to fix this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have tried searching the database for this and googled it and I couldn't find anything.
I'm not very experienced in Android, however, I am trying to develop an application. Within the application I want to check if the current time falls between time ranges
pseudo code
[HIGH]if (currTime > 9am AND currTime < 7pm)
{
//do this
}
else if (curTime>7pm AND currTime <10pm)
[Code]...
How can I determine if the current time is between two other time objects?
For example: current: 15:23, startTime: 22:00, endTime: 06:00. So the current time is not between this two other times, but this "23:47" is.
*I don't care about the date, only the time
I tried to do it like this:
Code:
Time startTime = getStartTime();
Time endTime = getEndTime();
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
Time now = new Time(c.getTimeInMillis());
[Code]...
but it dosen't work well. their aren't any errors but it just dosen't work.
To be more precise the problem is that 15:35.after(22:00) return true... and I don't know why. I think that the problem is something with the dates but I don't know what
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?

View 2 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedBy 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.

I have an XML preferences screen which is handled by addPreferencesFromResource. On it, there is a ListPreference, for which I want the summary to contain the current value of that preference. I think this would be a common requirement, as otherwise you could not see the present value of the preference without expending a click. I read that the summary field supports resource references, and I see that I can refer to preferences as android:summary="@+preference/prefname" in my ListPreference. Clearly this is why resource references would be supported in this field. However, when I try this, instead of the present value of prefname, the text "false" appears as the summary. Does anybody know how to display a current value without taking the seemingly ridiculous step of rewriting the entire (large) preference screen in Java?
