Here's a human-readable time stamp that may be used in a file name, just in case someone needs the same thing that I needed:
package com.example.xyz;
import android.text.format.Time;
/**
* Clock utility.
*/
public class Clock {
/**
* Get current time in human-readable form.
* @return current time as a string.
*/
public static String getNow() {
Time now = new Time();
now.setToNow();
String sTime = now.format("%Y_%m_%d %T");
return sTime;
}
/**
* Get current time in human-readable form without spaces and special characters.
* The returned value may be used to compose a file name.
* @return current time as a string.
*/
public static String getTimeStamp() {
Time now = new Time();
now.setToNow();
String sTime = now.format("%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S");
return sTime;
}
}
