Toybox.Time.Gregorian.utcInfo

Former Member over 8 years ago

I'm trying to use this function Toybox.Time.Gregorian.utcInfo and on the simulator it works fine, but when I copy the app to the watch I get an error saying that utcInfo is not defined.

Here is the code I have:

// get utc time
var utcTime = Toybox.Time.Gregorian.utcInfo(Time.now(), Calendar.FORMAT_MEDIUM);

Is there another way to get the current utc time?

I just recently updated to the 2.2.1 SDK

What watch are you using? Per the API doc, it's only available on watches with a 2.x.x VM:

#utcInfo(date, format) ⇒ Info

Use utcInfo() to retrieve a Gregorian.Info for a date converted to UTC.

Parameters:
date (Moment) — Moment object to get Info from
format (Number) — Time FORMAT_XXX constant to use
Returns:
(Info) — For FORMAT_SHORT, all values in Info are integers. For FORMAT_MEDIUM and FORMAT_LONG, the month/day fields have the strings for the date in question. The time returned has been converted to UTC.
Since:
2.0.0

As far as how else to get the info, you can to something like this for the time:

var local=Sys.getClockTime();

var o=local.timeZoneOffset;

var d=local.dst;

and use o and d to adjust the local time to utc.
