Stories similar to Change time in DateFormat on Android

I have a shell script that runs on Linux and uses this call to get yesterday's date in YYYY-MM-DD format:

date -d "1 day ago" '+%Y-%m-%d'

It works most of the time, but when the script ran yesterday morning at 2013-03-11 0:35 CDT it returned "2013-03-09" instead of "2013-03-10".

Presumably daylight saving time (which started yesterday) is to blame.

The amount of time ive spent trying to get methods like Timer, BroadcastReceiver, AlarmManager etc. to work. All i need is a clear way to update the widget or textview every second.

I simply want this batch of code to happen every second:

views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.rl, pendingIntent); java.util.Date noteTS = Calendar.getInstance().getTime(); String time = "kk:mm"; String date = "dd MMMMM yyyy";

views.setTextViewText(R.id.tvTime, DateFormat.format(time, noteTS)); views.setTextViewText(R.id.tvDate, DateFormat.format(date, noteTS));

So I need a simple way to update

We just had an earthquake and our reporting service logs it in UTC Universal Coordinated Time. For example Earthquake information last modified: 2013-01-10T03:10:59.396Z (UT)

I have no idea what time this is?

Is there an app in Linux that I can paste the UTC time into and get the local time?

Hi,

When I use the `date' command on RHEL5, I can get the time shown in 24 hr format. I wonder if the time can be shown in 12 hr format. But I don't want to use the `date +FORMAT' to do that, neither `alias date='date +FORMAT''. I just want a simple `date' to show time in 12hr format.

Is there any configuration file about the 12/24 hr format?
