Question

I want to remove the seconds of DigitalClock.

I found a code of DigitalCLock : http://grepcode.com/file_/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/1.5_r4/android/widget/DigitalClock.java/?v=source

Now I use just DigitalClock like this:

DigitalClock dc = (DigitalClock) findViewById(R.id.digitalClock1);

How to use code from GrepCode ?

Answer 1

Because the formats for DigitalClock are private, the easiest way is to cut and paste the entire class into your project. Then make a couple changes:

1. Remove ":ss" portion of each format, for example change m24 to "k:mm";.

2. Lower the refresh rate in the Runnable from each second to each minute:

   long next = now + (60000 - now % 60000);
   

Now use it like any other widget (in XML scope it with your reversed package name):

<com.example.DigitalClock
    android:width="wrap_content"
    android:height="wrap_content" />
