Android Question How to get the current date?

[helmut25]

I am desperately trying to get the current time and date, without success ;-(
this is my code (b4xpages)

  DateTime.TimeFormat = "hh:mm"
   DateTime.DateFormat = "dd.MMM.yyyy"
   datex =  DateTime.Time(DateTime.Now)

the variable datex remains empty. I included the DateUtils library, but to no avail.
the compiler doesn't even throw an error messge.
any suggestions?

What is the output of Log(datex) ?

thanx for your very quick answer.
I was just about to delete my question, because i found out that I had to include the
XUI Views library instead of the DateUtils library.....there obviously is no documentation about that.

This definitely works:

Dim datex As String
    DateTime.TimeFormat = "hh:mm"
    DateTime.DateFormat = "dd.MMM.yyyy"
    datex =  DateTime.Time(DateTime.Now)
    Log(datex)  'shows the current time without PM or AM

UI Views library instead of the DateUtils library.....there obviously is no documentation about that.

This code doesn't depend on XUI Views nor does it depend on DateUtils.
