Hi all,
I'm working on my first Android app and getting odd results while
using DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString(). The first time the
method gets called it seems to work fine, returning a character
sequence such as "27 days ago". But the next time the method gets
called it always returns a character sequence that is the same as the
startDate, such as "Aug 12, 2009". This seems strange.
The method can be written in one line, but I split it out to four
lines and put a break point on each line. I can step through line by
line and everything looks correct ("year", "month", "day", "startDate"
and "now" are appropriate values) until the timeSpan gets set, where
it suddenly returns the startDate instead of a span of x days. Is
this a bug in DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString or, more likely, I
am just overlooking something simple.
public CharSequence myTimeSpan(int year, int month, int day)
{
long startDate = new GregorianCalendar(year, month, day).getTime
().getTime();
long now = new GregorianCalendar().getTime().getTime();
CharSequence timeSpan = DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString
(startDate, now, DateUtils.DAY_IN_MILLIS);
return timeSpan;
}
thanks in advance.
