GetRelativeTimeSpanStringFormatted(Context, Int64, Boolean)

Returns a string describing the elapsed time since startTime.

[Android.Runtime.Register("getRelativeTimeSpanString", "(Landroid/content/Context;JZ)Ljava/lang/CharSequence;", "")]
public static Java.Lang.ICharSequence? GetRelativeTimeSpanStringFormatted (Android.Content.Context? c, long millis, bool withPreposition);

[<Android.Runtime.Register("getRelativeTimeSpanString", "(Landroid/content/Context;JZ)Ljava/lang/CharSequence;", "")>]
static member GetRelativeTimeSpanStringFormatted : Android.Content.Context * int64 * bool -> Java.Lang.ICharSequence

Parameters

c

Context

millis

Int64

withPreposition

Boolean

If true, the string returned will include the correct preposition ("at 9:20am", "on 10/12/2008" or "on May 29").

Returns

ICharSequence

a relative time string to display the time expressed by millis. Times are counted starting at midnight, which means that assuming that the current time is March 31st, 0:30: <ul> <li>"millis=0:10 today" will be displayed as "0:10"</li> <li>"millis=11:30pm the day before" will be displayed as "Mar 30"</li> </ul> If the given millis is in a different year, then the full date is returned in numeric format (e.g., "10/12/2008").
