Android Question DateTime.now?

[positrom2]

DateTime.DateFormat = "yyMMddHHmmss"
dt=DateTime.now
Msgbox(dt, "YYMMDDHHMMSS")

With date of July 22, 12:09 The message box shows "1406023759324".
I don't understand. Could somebody explain?

This is the correct code:

DateTime.DateFormat = "yyMMddHHmmss"
Dim dt As Long =DateTime.now
Log(DateTime.Date(dt))
Log(DateTime.Time(dt))

The long number is the number of ticks.

See here for an explanation http://www.b4x.com/android/help/core.html#datetime
