I m currently using the following code to format time on Google Android:
DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance().format(millis)
While this code honors my timezone and locale settings, it ignores the 24 hour mode setting in system preferences, always returning time in AM/PM. Is there any way to get time in the same format as that on the status bar?
In theory (never tried this yet), you can use
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/format/DateFormat.html
To get formatters based on your settings. YMMV.
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm");
df.format(new Date(date));
"date" in millisec
Use the java.text.SimpleDateFormat class.
