How do I localize schedule sting in Android

Question

I have a set of strings like "Friday 8:00am till 6:00pm", how do I localize this string to different languages.

I've tried to use 2 Calendars and SimpleDateFormat, but it doesn't support several values.

Answer 1

Use DateUtils.formatDateRange(...) to format time spans.

Formats a date or a time range according to the local conventions.

Although this will not allow you to localize parts of it yourself, it will provide a consistent user experience on the device and is properly localized. You can modify what and how it is displayed by providing various flags.
