B4A Library Hijri Converter (Gregorian to Hijri and vice versa)

Hello everyone

Here is a small library to convert Gregorian date to Hijri (Islamic) calendar and vice versa.

The result is a list of day,month,year,name of month

Please note that this library does some calculations to convert to Hijri and vice versa so results can differ from real date (Usually one day earlier or one day later )

I don't think I understand your point regarding 650 AD .
Please check and tell us .

If the Gregorian date is prior to the start of Hijri , it will return negative value .

Hi somed3v3loper, thanks for your quick response

I have trying your given example above, but I dont know how, my application automatically quit without any alert message.
This is my script:
Dim hijri As List=HijriConverter.GregorianToHijri(2016,03,23 )
lblHijri.Text= hijri.Get(0) & "/" & hijri.Get(1) & "/" & hijri.Get(2) & ", " & hijri.Get(3)

Notes: I just a beginner...

I got this when logging hijri.Get(0) & "/" & hijri.Get(1) & "/" & hijri.Get(2) & ", " & hijri.Get(3)

HI @somed3v3loper if possible, could you make this same library for B4j? it seems that this library is dependent on DateUtils but in B4J we have JDateUtils.

Is it work

I lost the source code but found this here and modified it to fit B4X
