Demonstrates how to get the current system date/time in YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD format. Android™

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import com.chilkatsoft.*;

import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    boolean success = false;

    CkDateTime dt = new CkDateTime();

    success = dt.SetFromCurrentSystemTime();

    //  Get a UTC time.
    boolean bLocal = false;
    String timestamp = dt.getAsTimestamp(bLocal);
    Log.i(TAG, "Current UTC Time: " + timestamp);

    //  Get a local time.
    bLocal = true;
    timestamp = dt.getAsTimestamp(bLocal);
    Log.i(TAG, "Current Local Time: " + timestamp);

    //  Sample output:
    //  
    //  Current UTC Time: 2022-03-01T00:48:58Z
    //  Current Local Time: 2022-02-28T18:48:58-06:00

  static {
      System.loadLibrary("chilkat");

      // Note: If the incorrect library name is passed to System.loadLibrary,
      // then you will see the following error message at application startup:
      //"The application <your-application-name> has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
