Android Question Display date and time on activity title.

[hub73]

Hello !
How could i display and update the time (and the date) on the activity.title ?
Many thanks !

This is how to display current and if you want to update it every few minutes, you probably can use a timer:

Activity.Title=DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now) & "  "  & DateTime.Time(DateTime.Now)

It looks like you got it, but here it is in case you want to compare or someone else wants some help

Dim MyTimer As Timer  'in Process_Globals

MyTimer.Initialize("MyTimer", 1000 * 60)  'in Activity_Create  update every minute or whatever

Sub Activity_Resume
  MyTimer.Enabled=True
End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed AsBoolean)
  MyTimer.Enabled=False
End Sub

Sub MyTimer_Tick
  Activity.Title=DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now) & "  "  & DateTime.Time(DateTime.Now)
End Sub

Where to find info/doc about timer ?

In the documentation?
So a search for "timer" https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/pages/results/?query=timer&page=1&prefix=0
The first result is the documentation of TIMER

Another option:

Activity.Title = $"$DateTime{DateTime.Now}"$
