android long to duration string
To convert a long value representing a duration into a string format in Kotlin, you can use the Duration
class provided by the Android framework. Here are the steps to achieve this:
Step 1: Import the necessary classes and functions
import android.text.format.DateUtils
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit
Step 2: Define the long duration value
val duration: Long = 3600000 // 1 hour in milliseconds
Step 3: Convert the long duration value to a string format
val durationString = DateUtils.formatElapsedTime(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(duration))
Explanation:
- In Step 1, we import the required classes and functions. android.text.format.DateUtils
provides utility functions for formatting time and date values, while java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit
provides various time unit conversions.
- In Step 2, we define a long duration value representing the duration in milliseconds. In this example, we set it to 1 hour.
- In Step 3, we use DateUtils.formatElapsedTime()
function to convert the long duration value to a string format. We pass the number of seconds as an argument, so we convert the duration value from milliseconds to seconds using TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds()
.
That's it! You now have a string representation of the duration in a human-readable format. You can use the durationString
variable wherever you need to display the duration.
