Add support for reference time in future.
Giorgi opened this issue · comments
It would be nice if it supported future reference times as well.
@Giorgi that is already supported (it is in fact a feature of the DateUtils class provided by Android). If you specify a reference time in the future, the text displays stings like "tomorrow", "in 2 mins" etc. These are auto-refreshed only as frequently as needed (just like the case where the timestamp is in the past).
I will update the sample app to reflect this. Meanwhile, if there is anything specific that you tried and had issues with, please let me know.
@curioustechizen Thanks for your answer. As the feature is already supported I'll close the issue. I guess a screenshot would be helpful so that others are not confused either.
@curioustechizen its not showing tomorrow instead shows number of hours, for instance if date in 29/3/2018 at 3:40pm and today is 28/3/2018 2:40pm, the text rendered is "In 23 hrs" instead of tomorrow. Can you please verify this?
@niharikasah If I remember correctly, if the date is more than 24 hours in the future, it shows as "tomorrow". You can see this in the sample.
This is a feature of the DateUtils API that is used by this library.
