Android Question Format date

[SamuelP]

Hy,

is there an easy way to get a datestring like "Di, 27.06.2017" ?

Does not work:

DateTime.DateFormat  = "ddd, dd.MM.yyyy"
str = DateTime.Date(Datum)

"ddd"? what's?

as Android is java, you can try the format strings here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

DateTime.DateFormat = "EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z"

While you type DateTime.TimeFormat you can see:

Do you guys think SamuelP may want something like this:

Dim str As String
    Dim myformat As String =DateTime.DateFormat
    DateTime.DateFormat  = "EEE, dd.MM.yyyy"
    str = DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now)
    Log(str)  'Displays: Tue, 27.06.2017
    DateTime.DateFormat =myformat

 

[LucaMs]

Do you guys think

Think? Too tiring!

 

[SamuelP]

Perfect!

"E, dd.MM.yyyy"

does what I was looking for.
