Utility library to Joda-Time time in android, based on Joda Time Android Andoird wrapper.
Android has built-in date and time handling - why bother with a library? If you've worked with Java's Date and Calendar classes you can probably answer this question yourself, but if not, check out Joda-Time's list of benefits.
For Android developers Joda-Time solves one critical problem: stale timezone data. Built-in timezone data is only updated when the OS is updated, and we all know how often that happens. Countries modify their timezones all the time; being able to update your own tz data keeps your app up-to-date and accurate.
Joda-Time is really useful, but some thing were missing when using it on Android:
- a DatePicker that works with DateTime
- a DateragePicker that works with DateTime
- a Gson Serializer/Deserializer fot DateTime
In this library you can find all of them
Add the following dependency to build.gradle:
dependencies {
compile 'TBD'
}Then follow the initializations instructions from joda-time-adnroid
