I'm creating app. It's a news list where on every news I need to show date, e.g. 9 hours ago or 1 month ago and so on. Also I have future news, so I need also to show e.g. after 1 month. So I'm using DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString() for this purpose. But I only can show past dates, e.g. 9 hours ago or 1 month ago and I can't show future dates. It shows the future date like Jun 26, 2020. So is there a way to show it e.g. after 2 month using DateUtils?
DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString(
millis,
System.currentTimeMillis(),
DateUtils.MINUTE_IN_MILLIS).toString();
You can you same way but time spans in the future are formatted like "In 42 minutes"
DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString(
futureTimeInMillis,
System.currentTimeMillis(),
DateUtils.MINUTE_IN_MILLIS).toString();
You can pass one of 0, MINUTE_IN_MILLIS, HOUR_IN_MILLIS, DAY_IN_MILLIS, WEEK_IN_MILLIS in last parameter. Last parameter is the minimum resolution means by which format you want.
MINUTE_IN_MILLIS - In 42 minutes
HOUR_IN_MILLIS - In 2 hours
DAY_IN_MILLIS - In 2 days
