    <p>I'm having trouble using Joda Time's PeriodFormatter. I want one to report days, hours, minutes and seconds but my attempt seems to be wrapping around weeks. What should I be doing differently?</p> <pre><code>import org.joda.time.DateTime; import org.joda.time.Period; import org.joda.time.format.PeriodFormatter; import org.joda.time.format.PeriodFormatterBuilder; public class Problems { public static void main(String[] args) { PeriodFormatter formatter = new PeriodFormatterBuilder() .printZeroNever() .appendDays() .appendSuffix(" day", " days") .appendSeparator(", ") .appendHours() .appendSuffix(" hour", " hours") .appendSeparator(", ") .appendMinutes() .appendSuffix(" minute", " minutes") .appendSeparator(", ") .appendSeconds() .appendSuffix(" second", " seconds") .toFormatter(); DateTime now = new DateTime(); DateTime justUnderAWeekAgo = now.minusDays(7).plusMinutes(1); DateTime justOverAWeekAgo = now.minusDays(7).minusMinutes(1); System.out.println(now); System.out.println(justUnderAWeekAgo); System.out.println(justOverAWeekAgo); // I am happy with the following: System.out.println( formatter.print(new Period(justUnderAWeekAgo, now))); // But not with this (outputs "1 minute" but I want "7 days, 1 minute"): System.out.println( formatter.print(new Period(justOverAWeekAgo, now))); } } </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I guess I can see why this isn't working - i.e. that the formatter just prints the Period's various values, and since Periods store a value for weeks, the value for days on my problem period is indeed 0. But I still need a good way of doing this...</p>

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.
