Android Question Date.Format and DateTime.Add question

[CidTek]

Using DateTime.DateFormat = "yyyyMMdd" I need to get todays date and yesterdays date.
log (DateTime.DateFormat = "yyyyMMdd")
Gives me 20130827 which is correct.

However while using the same dateFormat...
Tmpdate = DateTime.Add(DateTime.Now, 0, 0, -1)
Log(tmpdate)
gives me 1377498127481 but I expected 20130826

I would like to keep this simple with a few lines of code and not add any libraries such as DateUtils.

Your Log output was Yesterdays date in "Ticks" ....

 Dim Today, Yesterday As String
Dim TmpDate As Long

DateTime.DateFormat = "yyyyMMdd"
TmpDate = DateTime.Add(DateTime.Now, 0, 0, -1)
Today = DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now)
Yesterday = DateTime.Date(TmpDate)

Log (Today)
Log  (Yesterday)

Also see here ...
Get Yesterdays Date
