Wish [B4X] B4XDateUtils

[LucaMs]

[I'm not sure if what I'm about to write is correct, I'm only now messing around with these things and I don't have the patience to look for everything]

If I'm not mistaken there is no B4XDateUtils, there is a library for each platform. It would be better to have a B4XDateUtils.

I'm using B4J and jDateUtils has no functions to convert a Period to a Ticks-Long (you can use AddPeriod(0, OnePeriod), but it would be better to have a specific function) nor viceversa, conversion from Ticks-Long to Period.

In summary, I think it is useful to have a single B4XDateUtils, including PeriodToTicks and TicksToPeriod functions.

You can create it right?
Unless again, you want it to be an official library.

 

[LucaMs]

you want it to be an official library.

My "Wishes" are almost always more suggestions than "my wishes".

You shouldn't use DateUtils module. Use the library instead (which is referenced from XUI Views).

If you add the XUI views library to your project you get the DateUtils methods for free
Does this library include everything you need?

I didn't know, but it doesn't solve the "problem", TicksToPeriod and PeriodToTicks functions don't exist.

DateUtils = iDateUtils = jDateUtils. All three are compiled from the same module.

(You cannot simply convert ticks to period. You can convert milliseconds to period.)
