Android Question Getting the time in ticks for tomorrow's date

[rleiman]

Hi Everyone,

This toast statement will display the time in ticks for today at 2 in the morning.

ToastMessageShow(DateTime.DateTimeParse(DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now),"02:00"),True)

How do I do the same thing for 2 in the morning for tomorrow morning?

Thanks.

'Adds a Period to the given date instance. Do not forget to assign the result.

Sub AddPeriod(Ticks As Long, Per AsPeriod) As Long

In this case,Ticks in AddPeriod will be Datetime Ticks at 2:00am and all fields of Type Period will be 0, except Days=1

Type Period (Years As Int, Months As Int, _
      Days As Int, Hours As Int, Minutes As Int, Seconds As Int)

I think you can do it also with Smart literal

Hi,

It's telling me to declare the type in Sub Globals so I'm going to take a look at the sample that comes with DateUtils.

Thanks.

Make sure to check the lib dateutils. The named type comes with this lib

Hi Don,

Thanks. I'm looking at it now.

I mean: make sure to check the lib dateutils in the library tab.
If you add the lib to your project the waring about the type should disappear

Thanks. It's compiling without errors.

I tried it but the toast message is crashing the app. Can you help correct my coding?

Dim thePeriod As Period

thePeriod.Days = 1
lngTheTimeNow = DateTime.Now

ToastMessageShow(DateTime.DateTimeParse( DateUtils.AddPeriod(DateTime.Date(lngTheTimeNow), thePeriod),"02:00"),True)

Why can't you use something like this:

Log(DateTime.DateTimeParse(DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now),"02:00:00") )  
    Log(DateTime.Add(DateTime.DateTimeParse(DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now),"02:00:00"),0,0,1) )  'add 1 day

Hi Everyone,

Sussed it out.

lngTheTimeNow = DateTime.Now
intHours = DateTime.GetHour(lngTheTimeNow)
intMinutes = DateTime.GetMinute(lngTheTimeNow)
intSeconds = DateTime.GetSecond(lngTheTimeNow)
intYear = DateTime.GetYear(lngTheTimeNow)
intMonth = DateTime.GetMonth(lngTheTimeNow)
intDay = DateTime.GetDayOfMonth(lngTheTimeNow)

ToastMessageShow(DateUtils.SetDateAndTime(intYear,intMonth,intDay + 1,2,0,0),True)

Hi Everyone,

Sussed it out.

Please note that the code I posted for you in post#9 yields in ONE LINE the same exact result as what you show in post #10

Log(DateTime.DateTimeParse(DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now),"02:00:00") ) 
    Log(DateTime.Add(DateTime.DateTimeParse(DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now),"02:00:00"),0,0,1) )  'add 1 day

Thanks everyone for the replies. We are going for this coding since it uses less coding.
