Get help creating a program? UTC and Julian Date

Hello,

I wanted to know where I could get some help creating a widget.

I would like to be able to display UTC as well as Julian date.

I think I have a solution for getting the UTC by getting the offset and then adding or subtracting it to the seconds but I'm not sure if that would work

Yes. You should be able to get the current time and subtracting the timeZoneOffset from it, something like this...

var moment = Time.now().add(new Time.Duration(-clockTime.timeZoneOffset));

    var info = Gregorian.info(moment, Time.FORMAT_SHORT);



    // info.hour

    // info.min

    // info.sec

    Sys.println(Lang.format("$1$:$2$:$3$", [

        info.hour,

        info.min.format("%02d"),

        info.sec.format("%02d")

    ]));

Of course it might be simpler to just do the calculation yourself directly. This is pretty easy because the value held by a Time.Moment is the number of seconds since the 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z (it is in UTC time).

var timestamp = Time.now().value();



    timestamp %= 86400;

    var hour = timestamp / 3600;

    var min = timestamp / 60 % 60;

    var sec = timestamp % 60;



    Sys.println(Lang.format("$1$:$2$:$3$", [

        hour,

        min.format("%02d"),

        sec.format("%02d")

    ]));

If you are planning to support only ConnectIQ 2.x and newer devices, you could also use Gregorian.utcInfo(), but be wary that it won't be portable to older devices.

What would be causing this if I tried to use your time offset above for UTC?
