Returns a string describing 'time' as a time relative to 'now'.
public static string? GetRelativeTimeSpanString (long time, long now, long minResolution, Android.Text.Format.FormatStyleFlags flags);static member GetRelativeTimeSpanString : int64 * int64 * int64 * Android.Text.Format.FormatStyleFlags -> stringParameters
- time
- Int64
the time to describe, in milliseconds
- now
- Int64
the current time in milliseconds
- minResolution
- Int64
the minimum timespan to report. For example, a time 3 seconds in the past will be reported as "0 minutes ago" if this is set to MINUTE_IN_MILLIS. Pass one of 0, MINUTE_IN_MILLIS, HOUR_IN_MILLIS, DAY_IN_MILLIS, WEEK_IN_MILLIS
- flags
- FormatStyleFlags
a bit mask of formatting options, such as
#FORMAT_NUMERIC_DATE or
#FORMAT_ABBREV_RELATIVE
Returns
a String object containing the elapsed time.
Remarks
Returns a string describing 'time' as a time relative to 'now'.
Time spans in the past are formatted like "42 minutes ago". Time spans in the future are formatted like "In 42 minutes".
Can use #FORMAT_ABBREV_RELATIVE flag to use abbreviated relative times, like "42 mins ago".

Applies to
GetRelativeTimeSpanString(Context, Int64, Boolean)
Returns a string describing the elapsed time since startTime.
public static string? GetRelativeTimeSpanString (Android.Content.Context? c, long millis, bool withPreposition);static member GetRelativeTimeSpanString : Android.Content.Context * int64 * bool -> stringParameters
- c
- Context
- millis
- Int64
- withPreposition
- Boolean
If true, the string returned will include the correct preposition ("at 9:20am", "on 10/12/2008" or "on May 29").
Returns
a relative time string to display the time expressed by millis. Times are counted starting at midnight, which means that assuming that the current time is March 31st, 0:30: <ul> <li>"millis=0:10 today" will be displayed as "0:10"</li> <li>"millis=11:30pm the day before" will be displayed as "Mar 30"</li> </ul> If the given millis is in a different year, then the full date is returned in numeric format (e.g., "10/12/2008").
