DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString in another language in android

Question

I am trying to implement DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString in android, but I want to show the data in Italian, even if the default language for the phone is set to English, I want to show the data ie "1 ora fa" instead of "1 minute ago"

I am using the following code for this

DateUtils.  getRelativeTimeSpanString (currenttimeMillis, System.currentTimeMillis(), DateUtils.SECOND_IN_MILLIS).toString().toLowerCase(Locale.ITALIAN)

Answer 1

I used this method

the code

public static String getRelativeTimeSpanString(Context context, Date fromdate) {

long then;
then = fromdate.getTime();
Date date = new Date(then);

StringBuffer dateStr = new StringBuffer();

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(date);
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();

int days = daysBetween(calendar.getTime(), now.getTime());
int weeks= days/7;
int minutes = hoursBetween(calendar.getTime(), now.getTime());
int hours = minutes / 60;
if (days == 0) {

    int second = minuteBetween(calendar.getTime(), now.getTime());
    if (minutes > 60) {
        if (hours >= 1 && hours <= 24) {
            dateStr.append(String.format("%s %s %s",
                    hours,
                    context.getString(R.string.hour)
                    ,context.getString(R.string.ago)));
        }
    }else {
        if (second <= 10) {
            dateStr.append(context.getString(R.string.now));
        } else if (second > 10 && second <= 30) {
            dateStr.append(context.getString(R.string.few_seconds_ago));
        } else if (second > 30 && second <= 60) {
            dateStr.append(String.format("%s %s %s",
                    second,
                    context.getString(R.string.seconds)
                    ,context.getString(R.string.ago)));
        } else if (second >= 60 && minutes <= 60) {
            dateStr.append(String.format("%s %s %s",
                    minutes,
                    context.getString(R.string.minutes)
                    ,context.getString(R.string.ago)));
        }
    }
} else

if (hours > 24 && days < 7) {
    dateStr.append(String.format("%s %s %s",
            days,
            context.getString(R.string.days)
            ,context.getString(R.string.ago)));
}else if(weeks == 1){
    dateStr.append(String.format("%s %s %s",
            weeks,
            context.getString(R.string.weeks)
            ,context.getString(R.string.ago)));
}
else {
    /**
     * make formatted createTime by languageTag("fa")
     *
     * @return
     */
    return SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(SimpleDateFormat.LONG,new Locale("fra"))
            .format(date).toUpperCase();
}

return dateStr.toString();
}

public static int minuteBetween(Date d1, Date d2) {
return (int) ((d2.getTime() - d1.getTime()) / android.text.format.DateUtils.SECOND_IN_MILLIS);
}

public static int hoursBetween(Date d1, Date d2) {
return (int) ((d2.getTime() - d1.getTime()) / android.text.format.DateUtils.MINUTE_IN_MILLIS);
}

public static int daysBetween(Date d1, Date d2) {
return (int) ((d2.getTime() - d1.getTime()) / android.text.format.DateUtils.DAY_IN_MILLIS);
}

and I set the date as a parameter for this method:

return getRelativeTimeSpanString(context,this.createdTime);

this location return string the way i wanted!
