I tried my Android app TIDE NOW WA under the Chrome ARC. Worked surprisingly well but there is an odd thing. My app needs the local time to display correct results, this is true in Daylight Savings Time as well as Standard Time. Under Android, today in DST, my app shows the time zone as "PDT", and the accordingly adjusted time is provided. Under ARC (running Chrome Browser & Windows 7) the time zone is shown as "GMT-07:00"
I get the time from Android like this
runDate = Calendar.getInstance(); // will display tides for this date/time ....
and I determine Daylight Savings Time in effect like this
DST=(runDate.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET)==3600000); // is it Daylight Savings today?
So my app (under ARC) displays incorrectly during Daylight Savings Time but correctly during Standard Time. Is this a bug of my own or is it a feature of ARC.
Updated arc, to 43.4410.349.9, (latest today) and it fixed it. This was after updating the chrome browser to 43 which by itself did not fix it.
The update fixed my app and now it works just like the phone version. Thanks very much.
