It should be:

B4X:

DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now)

This :

DateParse (Date As String) As Long
Parses the given date string and returns its ticks representation.
An exception will be thrown if parsing fails.
Example:
Dim SomeTime As Long
SomeTime = DateTime.DateParse("02/23/2007")

From here : http://www.b4x.com/android/help/core.html#datetime_dateparse

already tried
in this case the error is "com.parse.ParseException: invalid type for key startedAt, expected date, but got long"
probably i'll have to change the type in Parse

Sorry, my mistake - there is no 'date' type in B4A. It's usually represented as a String or Ticks (which are long).

Are you able to change the service you supply the date to? to accept a string or ticks and then convert?

with number type's column in Parse class and DateTime.Now in B4A it works but the value of date column saved is "1396190338537" (for 30/03/2014..)
how to save the date type using B4A? B4A accepts the date type?
