I'm receiving some date format, an ISO-something, and was wondering what the appropriate way to parse it into a timestamp. My ultimate goal will be a standard switch on it to create "X minutes / hours / days ago.", so if there is a tool that does that already, that'd be optimal. I've tried joda-time, but it choked on it. Here is an example of a time string: <code>2012-05-03 @ 15.55.05.433Z</code> Additionally, if it is indeed it is the case that it's not an ISO-something format, I've no problem manipulating, say, the <code>@</code> out of it, etc. EDIT: Attempt 1: <pre><code>SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSZ" ); try { Date myDate = dateFormat.parse( o.getCreationDate().replace( "@", "" ) ); long minutes = myDate.getTime() / 1000 / 60; holder.timeText.setText( minutes + " minutes ago" ); } catch( ParseException e ) { e.printStackTrace(); } </code></pre> Result: <code>05-17 16:58:05.003: W/System.err(2915): java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2012-05-09 19:49:47.987Z" (at offset 24) </code> EDIT 2: Stripping the Z, and correct millisecond to minute conversion fixed it: <pre><code>SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS" ); try { Date myDate = dateFormat.parse( o.getCreationDate().replace( "@ ", "" ).replace( "Z", "" ) ); Date now = new Date(); long minutes = ( now.getTime() - myDate.getTime() ) / 1000 / 60; holder.timeText.setText( minutes + " minutes ago" ); } catch( ParseException e ) { e.printStackTrace(); } </code></pre>

1. COGoogle for ISO8601 - I don't think the `@` symbol is part of that however but it's been a while since I read the RFCs. As Gokhan answered - you can use a SimpleDateFormat to parse it (probably without the @) into a usable Android Date and then re-format.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
