B4J Code Snippet Date convertor -> Persian (Shamsi) to Gregorian and vice versa

Hello.
I wanted to share this since it took me a lot of searching and testing different codes to find ones that actually worked. The algorithms were coded in 'C++'. I converted them into B4J. Just put them in the same module.

B4X:
Sub MiladiIsLeap(miladiYear As Int) As Int
    If(((miladiYear Mod 100) <> 0 And (miladiYear Mod 4) = 0) Or ((miladiYear Mod 100) = 0 And (miladiYear Mod 400) = 0)) Then
        Return 1
    Else
        Return 0
    End If
End Sub

'Persian to Gregorian conversion. Takes the Persian year/month/day as parameters.
Sub ShamsiToMiladi(y As Int, m As Int, d As Int) As String
{
    Dim sumshamsi() As Int = Array As Int ( 31, 62, 93, 124, 155, 186, 216, 246, 276, 306, 336, 365 )
    Dim miladidays() As Int = Array As Int( 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31 )
    
    Dim yy, mm, dd,daycount As Int
    daycount = d
    If m > 1 Then daycount = daycount+ sumshamsi(m - 2)
    yy = y + 621
    daycount = daycount + 79
    If MiladiIsLeap(yy) = 1 Then
        If daycount > 366 Then
            daycount = daycount - 366
            yy = yy + 1
        End If
    Else If daycount > 365 Then
        daycount = daycount - 365
        yy = yy + 1
    End If
    
    If MiladiIsLeap(yy) = 1 Then miladidays(1) = 29
    mm=0
    Do While (daycount > miladidays(mm))
        daycount = daycount - miladidays(mm)
        mm = mm + 1
    Loop

    Dim iYear As Int = yy
    Dim iMonth As Int = (mm + 1)
    Dim iDay As Int = daycount
    
    Return iYear & "/" & NumberFormat(iMonth, 2, 0) & "/" & NumberFormat(iDay, 2, 0)
End Sub

'Convert Gregorian date to Hijri Shamsi (Persian) date
Sub MiladiToShamsi(Year As Int, Month As Int, Day As Int) As String
    
    Dim count_days(12) As Int
    count_days = Array As Int(31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31)
    Dim i As Int
    Dim day_year As Int
    Dim newMonth, newYear, newDay As Int
    
    day_year = 0
    For i = 1 To Month - 1
        day_year = day_year + count_days(i-1)
    Next
    day_year = day_year + Day
    
    If IsLeapYear(Year) And Month > 2 Then day_year = day_year + 1
    If day_year <= 79 Then
        If (Year - 1) Mod 4 = 0 Then
            day_year = day_year + 11
        Else
            day_year = day_year + 10
        End If
        newYear = Year - 622
        If day_year Mod 30 = 0 Then
            newMonth = (day_year / 30) + 9
            newDay = 30
        Else
            newMonth = (day_year / 30) + 10
            newDay = day_year Mod 30
        End If
    Else
        newYear = Year - 621
        day_year = day_year - 79
        If day_year <= 186 Then
            If day_year Mod 31 = 0 Then
                newMonth = day_year / 31
                newDay = 31
            Else
                newMonth = (day_year / 31) + 1
                newDay = day_year Mod 31
            End If
        Else
            day_year = day_year - 186
            If day_year Mod 30 = 0 Then
                newMonth = (day_year / 30) + 6
                newDay = 30
            Else
                newMonth = (day_year / 30) + 7
                newDay = day_year Mod 30
            End If
        End If
    End If
    
    'Return the result
    Return newYear & "/" & newMonth & "/" & newDay
End Sub

Sub IsLeapYear(year As Int) As Boolean
    If year Mod 400 = 0 Then Return True
    If year Mod 100 = 0 Then Return False
    If year Mod 4 = 0 Then Return True
    Return False
End Sub

Among all the things I found in different websites, these ones seem to work flawlessly. I hope it proves useful to someone.
