B4J Question B4XPlusMinus and Time

[Elric]

I'm trying to implement time in a B4XPlusMinus, like this:

hours and minutes together.

I looked for setting SetNumericRange but without success. So, I used a workaround:

    Private TimeList As List
    (...)
    TimeList.Initialize
    For j = 0 To 23
        For k = 0 To 59
            TimeList.Add($"$1.0{j}:$2.0{k}"$)
        Next
    Next
    (...)
    B4XPlusMinus1.SetStringItems(TimeList)

that works perfectly. But this sound to me as smelling code.

I wonder if there is a way with SetNumericRange or another way that doesn't involve two For cycle and a list.

Time is of course a continuum. Numeric range of Time of day is 0 to 1439 minutes. But B4XFormatter can't convert minutes to hours and mins.
So your approach seems OK to me. Remember that if you make TimeList a global it only needs to be done once in the whole App and execution time is negligible.

Looks excellent.

That's means that my code smell no so much!

I will use TimeList as global!

Thank you!
