Android Question Format for DateTime.TimeFormat strings

[Gary Milne]

I'm just trying to get it to return an AM/PM string. Even using the default format from the ToolTip help generates a compiler error.

Took me a while to find the documentation but I thought that would be easy after that. Tried a few suggestions from the documentation such as "h:mm a" "hh:mm:ss a" but nothing works.

Can't find any pointers on this forum either. I know it must be a common issue as the US does not use 24 hour time much.

Thats easy, and its on the android documentation:

But the main problem is your code, its all wrong, TimeFormat its a property, not a function, and even the intellisense is telling you that you have errors.

So, for 24h its:

DateTime.TimeFormat = "HH:mm:ss"

And for AM/PM its:

DateTime.TimeFormat = "KK:mm:ss a"

Aaah, thank you Ivan. So used to typing the "(" to get the help I overlooked the obvious that it was not required. thanks again.
