Android Question Are you able to set the system time from within an app?

[seskindell]

Do you need root to set the system time from within an app?

I noticed that there is
AddPermission(android.permission.SET_TIME)

Any help appreciated!

Only system applications can change your date and time of your device.
Your app can not have access to change DateTime of your Device

So the answer to the question in the Thread is maybe YES. But i don´t know if it is possible with a rooted device.

The answer to the question in Subject is no.
