[FIXED] Setting the Time in a TextClock

Issue

I want use TextClock in my Android application which display user history. Currently I was using TextView for display time but for better support TimeZone and Hour Format, I am thinking to use TextClock.

I have implemented it like below in XML

 <TextClock
                    android:id="@+id/txt_start_time"
                    android:layout_width="0dp"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_weight="1.25"
                    android:drawableStart="@drawable/ic_calendar_small"
                    android:gravity="center_vertical|start"
                    android:format12Hour="dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm a"
                    android:format24Hour="dd/MM/yyyy kk:mm"
                    android:timeZone="Asia/Calcutta"
                    android:text="15 jul, 2018 10:12:11"
                    android:textColor="@color/grey_90"
                    android:textSize="10sp" />

But I am not able to set My Time Which I am getting From Server. I was setting it in TextView like below

holder.txtStartTime.setText(AppUtils.getSimpleStringDate(mData.get(pPosition).getStartTime(),
                    "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss","dd MMM, yyyy HH:mm:ss") );

Instead Now I want use TextClock. How can I set time in TextClock ?

Thanks

Solution

You can't use TextClock to set different time and show.

TextClock can display the current date and/or time as a formatted string.

you can check doc.

You'll have to use TextView only.
