Text format has extra charcters in it

When text is displaying it is showing 21 hrs. ago instead of 21 hrs ago. Is there a way to get rid of " . "
This seems to be a change in the implementation of the underlying DateUtils
method in Android. If you see the screenshot I posted in the README, it shows 15 mins ago
(I don't remember what API version this was). The same example when I run on API 25 emulator shows 15 min. ago
.
I'm guessing Android changed the implementation of DateUtils
to add the .
after abbreviated words like min
and hrs
when the flag FORMAT_ABBREV_RELATIVE
is used.
If I remove the flag from here, and set it to 0, then I see 15 minutes ago
, 3 hours ago
etc.
Unfortunately, it is not easy to override the implementation of DateUtils
class. I will consider exposing the flags so you can control whether you want to see the abbreviation or not.
For now I don't have any work-around for you, other than to search for hrs.
and remove the .
manually but this is error-prone.
its occurring for only hrs and min but for days and months its working fine. I am working on emulator with API 27.
