My application has a timestamp string that is created as follows:
public String getTimestamp(Date when) { long now = System.currentTimeMillis(); long past = when.getTime(); return DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString( past, now, DateUtils.SECOND_IN_MILLIS); }
When I run this function on a device from Brazil, I get the following error:
java.util.UnknownFormatConversionException: Conversion: l at java.util.Formatter$FormatToken.unknownFormatConversionException(Formatter.java:1430) at java.util.Formatter$FormatToken.checkFlags(Formatter.java:1367) at java.util.Formatter.transform(Formatter.java:1473) at java.util.Formatter.doFormat(Formatter.java:1101) at java.util.Formatter.format(Formatter.java:1062) at java.util.Formatter.format(Formatter.java:1031) at java.lang.String.format(String.java:2177) at java.lang.String.format(String.java:2151) at android.text.format.DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString(DateUtils.java:526) at android.text.format.DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString(DateUtils.java:426) at com.myapp.Utils.MyAdapter.bindView(MyAdapter.java:98) at com.myapp.Utils.MyAdapter.getView(MyAdapter.java:60) at android.widget.AbsListView.obtainView(AbsListView.java:1618) at android.widget.ListView.makeAndAddView(ListView.java:1772) at android.widget.ListView.fillDown(ListView.java:695) at android.widget.ListView.fillFromTop(ListView.java:752) at android.widget.ListView.layoutChildren(ListView.java:1609) at android.widget.AbsListView.onLayout(AbsListView.java:1448) at android.view.View.layout(View.java:7375) at android.widget.RelativeLayout.onLayout(RelativeLayout.java:912) at android.view.View.layout(View.java:7375) at android.widget.FrameLayout.onLayout(FrameLayout.java:338) at android.view.View.layout(View.java:7375) at android.widget.FrameLayout.onLayout(FrameLayout.java:338) at android.view.View.layout(View.java:7375) at android.widget.RelativeLayout.onLayout(RelativeLayout.java:912) at android.view.View.layout(View.java:7375) at android.widget.FrameLayout.onLayout(FrameLayout.java:338) at android.view.View.layout(View.java:7375) at com.slidingmenu.lib.CustomViewAbove.onLayout(CustomViewAbove.java:476) at android.view.View.layout(View.java:7375) at android.widget.RelativeLayout.onLayout(RelativeLayout.java:912) at android.view.View.layout(View.java:7375) at android.widget.FrameLayout.onLayout(FrameLayout.java:338) at android.view.View.layout(View.java:7375) at android.view.ViewRoot.performTraversals(ViewRoot.java:1158) at android.view.ViewRoot.handleMessage(ViewRoot.java:1878) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:130) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:3770) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:507) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:912) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:670) at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method)
Any thoughts on why this is happening, and how can I fix it? Is this an Android issue with the BR locale?
