Android的簡訊的時間的顯示做的很精細,首先儲存在簡訊資料庫mmssms.db中的簡訊時間都是Long型的數字,查詢動作結束,取到這個值之後,會做轉換,具體轉換的動作在MessageUtils.java的formatTimeStampString函數中完成;
時間轉換 public static String formatTimeStampString(Context context, long when) { return formatTimeStampString(context, when, false); }
formatTimeStampString public static String formatTimeStampString(Context context, long when, boolean fullFormat) { Time then = new Time(); then.set(when); Time now = new Time(); now.setToNow(); // Basic settings for formatDateTime() we want for all cases. int format_flags = DateUtils.FORMAT_NO_NOON_MIDNIGHT | DateUtils.FORMAT_ABBREV_ALL | DateUtils.FORMAT_CAP_AMPM; // If the message is from a different year, show the date and year. if (then.year != now.year) { format_flags |= DateUtils.FORMAT_SHOW_YEAR | DateUtils.FORMAT_SHOW_DATE; } else if (then.yearDay != now.yearDay) { // If it is from a different day than today, show only the date. format_flags |= DateUtils.FORMAT_SHOW_DATE; } else { // Otherwise, if the message is from today, show the time. format_flags |= DateUtils.FORMAT_SHOW_TIME; } // If the caller has asked for full details, make sure to show the date // and time no matter what we've determined above (but still make showing // the year only happen if it is a different year from today). if (fullFormat) { format_flags |= (DateUtils.FORMAT_SHOW_DATE | DateUtils.FORMAT_SHOW_TIME); } return DateUtils.formatDateTime(context, when, format_flags); }
從第二個具體實現的函數可以看出來,Android是根據當前的時間為比較的依據來決定顯示的時間格式:
- 如果當前的簡訊時間中年份跟手機當前的年份不一致,則顯示年月日,不顯示具體的幾點幾分,如:2010-6-30;
- 如果簡訊的時間跟手機目前時間在同一年,但不是同一天,則只顯示月日,如:6月29日;
- 如果是當天的簡訊,則會計算是上午還是下午的簡訊,同時顯示幾點幾分記錄的該簡訊,如:下午 12:55;
綜合考慮下來,這樣的顯示設計還是很合理的…
