Theera,
Since Android only accepts dates up to the year 2100, or thereabouts, the simplest solution would seem to be to wrap any use of the date functions into equivalent BudismDate functions which subtract the 543 year shift before using the standard B4A functions and add the 543 years at the end.

something like:-

B4X: 
sub budhism_now as string
   dim now as long
   dim todayyear, todaymonth, todayday as int
   dim todaysdate as string

   now = DateTime.Now
   todayyear = DateTime.getyear(now) + 534
   todaymonth = DateTime.getmonth(now)
   todayday = DateTime.getdayofmonth(now)

   todaysdate = todaysdate & NumberFormat2(todayday,2,0,0,False) & "/"
   todaysdate = todaysdate & NumberFormat2(todaymonth,2,0,0,False) & "/"
   todaysdate = NumberFormat2(todayyear,4,0,0,False) 

   return todaysdate
end sub

Don't know the ins and out of B4PPC, but the principles should be much the same.

Good luck,
Douglas
