[android-developers] Re: Timezone picker
I need to implement a timezone picker, but TimeZone.getAvailableIDshttp://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/TimeZone.html#getAva...() return is a big mess (at least in Samsung Galaxy S). It is pretty big :-) You could copy the nice list from the settings app manually. Shame the one from Settings isn't usable programatically actually (like so many built-in things... NumberPicker springs to mind). At least it wasn't when I last tried. Pent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Timezone picker
Yeah, I just finished building a NumberPicker that actually works, is configurable via XML, and doesn't constantly create new temporary objects.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Timezone picker
The problem is not the size it's the content itself... and the getDisplayName is even worse... You get stuff like America/Bahia with a description of Brasilia Time but San Francisco or New York is nowhere to be found. :( PMD On 28 December 2010 16:01, Pent tas...@dinglisch.net wrote: I need to implement a timezone picker, but TimeZone.getAvailableIDs http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/TimeZone.html#getAva.. .() return is a big mess (at least in Samsung Galaxy S).

[android-developers] Re: Timezone picker
I think all those descriptions actually come from the JDK classes, not the Android stuff, and they have been like that for at least the past 10 years. Personally, I'd just use them...

Re: [android-developers] Re: Timezone picker
Yep, probably that's what I'll do... although I just found this site: http://citytimezones.info/. They have a nice free database for cities timezone around the world... I'm tempted do implement a timezone picker based on it.
