Hi, I'd like to know how to set date/time in 6410 or 210 SDK and Android environment. I understood that a command "date" can be used in Linux as the below: <shell> [root@sense ~]# date 032611412013 Sat Mar 26 11:41:00 KST 2013 </shell> Thank you in advance for good teaching!!
Through adb: adb shell date -s YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS Programmatically: startActivity(new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_DATE_SETTINGS)); (note - this only calls the Android Settings Menu, it is only possible for the system to change date/time) In the Android Settings Menu - Choose "Date&time" - Uncheck "Automatic" - Choose "Set date" - Set date - Go back one level - Choose "Set time" -Set time
Thanks wdyn1, Re your suggestion: adb shell date -s YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS - It's working well in shell mode but doesn't work in Android. Re programmatic method, it floats setting page to set manually and seems a useful in applications. I'd like to find a method how to interface date setting by program like Linux environment.
Maybe I don't know exactly what you mean by "program like Linux environment", but I might know the problem you're running into. As far as I know, Android does not allow permission for user apps to change the date or time. I've tried a few work-arounds, but haven't found anything useful other than what I already posted. Sorry... If you find a different solution, I would really like to know :)
Hi wdyn1, It is meant that it is easy to interface date setting by external program in Linux. I understood FriendlyArm SDK has opened root authority but have no way to find API for date setting. Thanks again wdyn1.
