NaturalDateFormat

A library to format dates as described in Material Design guidelines ( https://www.google.com/design/spec/patterns/data-formats.html#data-formats-date-time).

RelativeDateFormat formats date as relative (4 months ago, today, next year), AbsoluteDateFormat formats date as absolute (Monday, 4:32 PM, June 10). These classes use natural language, can use abbreviations, 12/24 hours clock, skip time/year/weekday if not needed.

This library internally uses Joda Time. If you're looking for something really compact, you may prefer to use DateUtils.

How to install

Follow instructions on https://jitpack.io/#ZieIony/NaturalDateFormat

How to use

RelativeDateFormat relFormat = new RelativeDateFormat(context,NaturalDateFormat.DATE);
 AbsoluteDateFormat absFormat = new AbsoluteDateFormat(context,NaturalDateFormat.DATE | NaturalDateFormat.HOURS | NaturalDateFormat.MINUTES);
 relFormat.format(new Date().getTime());
 absFormat.format(new Date().getTime());

The second parameter can be a combination of flags from NaturalDateFormat class. See the sample app.

Translations

I know only english and polish. If you wish to help me with translations, feel free to make a pull request with a translation.

There are issues with certain languages on certain platforms. For example polish doesn't work well on Samsung with API 10. It's an issue with Android internals and there's not much I can do with that.

AsyncManager

AsyncManager hopes to keep management of background threads as simple as possible, by keeping the creation and termination of background tasks to just one API call respectively. Callback, which will be processed on the UI thread, can be overridden to process the result returned from the background operation.

Nox

Nox is an Android library created to show a custom view with some NoxItem instances inside which are drawn following a shape indicated by the library user. You can create you own Shape implementations if you want, by default there are some interesting Shape implementations to show NoxItem instances following a circular, spiral or linear shape.
