So Android introduced Time in api 3, its an alternative to calendar but why would you use the alternative? What is the pro/cons?

So far:

  • Calendar can use DateFormat formating, while Time use another type of formating: http://www.manpagez.com/man/3/strftime/

  • Time is simple while Calendar is somewhat bloated

Anything else to consider?

    Well because time is easy and performs about as much as calender, I’d go with Time, but if you want more advanced features I’d use calender.
