Android Question Comparing the system time as a string

[rleiman]

Hi Everyone,

I would like to use an If statement like this:

If SystemTime = "13:00" then
    ' Coding goes here.
End If

Can you show me the coding needed to do this?

Thanks.

This depends on the setting in the device:

Use 24-hour format

I do not know if you can test it by code.

If not, you could try a time that is not Now, in order to verify this and act accordingly

Dim ph As Phone

Dim Time12_24 As String = ph.GetSettings("time_12_24")

Dim SystemTime As String
DateTime.TimeFormat = "hh:mm"
SystemTime = DateTime.Time(DateTime.Now)
Log(SystemTime)

If Time12_24 = "24" Then
    If SystemTime = "13:00" then
        ' Coding goes here.
    End If
Else
    If SystemTime = "01:00"
        ' Coding goes here.
    End If
End If

Thanks for the code and help. I will use your coding.

Dim ph As Phone

Dim Time12_24 As String = ph.GetSettings("time_12_24")

Dim SystemTime As String
DateTime.TimeFormat = "hh:mm"
SystemTime = DateTime.Time(DateTime.Now)
Log(SystemTime)

If Time12_24 = "24" Then
    If SystemTime = "13:00" then
        ' Coding goes here.
    End If
Else
    If SystemTime = "01:00"
        ' Coding goes here.
    End If
End If

You're welcome.

I'm glad to be helpful to you (and to myself, maybe one day it will be helpful to me too )
