Odd, you are right it appears my Time isnt correct...
I have the following code:
Time time = new Time();
Log.v("1", "time="+time);
the time that's being printed (via the default time.toString()) is
giving a date in the year 1970. The date on the android phone says the
current date and year....
Does anyone have any idea why this is so?
Any help is appreciated :)
