B4J Question SNTP class in long running apps

Chris2 · Apr 22, 2021

In the SNTP class - https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-sntp-class.86088/
@Erel says

You only need to calculate the offsets once.

Is that still the case in apps that run continuously across the boundary of local time zone changes (i.e. across the point at which local clocks move to or from daylight saving time)?

Ticks = milliseconds since 1/1/1970 GMT. They are not affected by time zone changes.

Nothing bad will happen if you call it every few hours, however this is not related to DST changes.

Of course, sorry! Sometimes I need to read or hear the same information multiple times before it sticks.
