Elric Well-Known Member Licensed User May 31, 2021 #1 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: B4X: 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.

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. Upvote 0
