Mark: That's great news - I'm cheered up already knowing it can be done easily again. I did try searching for a few hours to find a good replacement. I searched for:
"android relative date time format" (returns nothing seemingly related) - and - "getRelativeDateTimeString()" (returns 0 results) If I include the word DateUtils, I get 1000+ results for older code, which includes import android.text.format.DateUtils or a similar library.

Can't find a replacement ANYWHERE! Why do you need a replacement? There's a half-dozen flavors of that method on DateUtils, all available since API Level 3 (a.k.a., Android 1.5). If you're looking for the source to those methods, try Google Code Search. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 1.9 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
