Click on the following link:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/format/DateUtils.html
This is what is known as "JavaDocs", the API documentation for Java
classes. Specifically, you are looking at android.text.format.DateUtils,
the class you are trying to use.
If you scroll down on that page, you will see a table named "Public
Methods". This contains a list of public methods available on the class.
If you scroll down into that table, you will see six editions of the
getRelativeDateTimeString() method, with different parameter sets.
Now, I don't know what "this" is in your code snippet. If "this" were a
Context (e.g., Activity, Service), then the first method signature would
seem to match your parameters. Hence, my best guess is that "this" is
not a Context -- fix that, and you should be able to use the method.
