Hi! Some days ago i started developing an app with thunkable x, i was trying to convert millis (seconds since 1970 * 1000) into a date in format “dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm”, so i looked into clock component but i haven’t found the block as in thunkable classic. Does anyone know how to do that? Thank you.

Hi there, Is there a reason you want to do this instead of getting ‘current day/month/year hour/minute’ from the Device drawer of blocks? You’d want to make some variables that store the number of ms in a year, a day, an hour and a minute. If there are x ms in a year, then the amount of years sinc…

@jane Sometimes you need to parse the time of a past event, a moment that was saved in a database, so it is not always “current”. I have a lot of that in my apps, and that is one reason X is not yet ready for those.

I will try doing this, if it will work i’ll publish the code here :smiley:

Sounds great! Let me know if you have any other questions. :slightly_smiling_face:

I tried any way, but it doesn’t work… i thought about an online api service, but i haven’t found one, could someone help me?

If you haven’t found an on-line API for this, then perhaps there isn’t one. But if you are willing to put the time into it, you can make the calculation yourself. First, we have to put a few things as given: January 1st 1970 was a Thursday. That will serve as a start point reference if you want to…

I’ve done almost all the things you wrote, but the result is wrong… If thunkable x allowed extensions i would create one, because (i think) in this case java/other language coding is easier than block/visual coding. I don’t know where’s the error, when i’ll get back home i will send the project he…

Hey @Futuredev and @CBVG i wonder if either of you would be willing to post the blocks you have used to accomplish this? Lot’s of us would find that helpful probably! and of course, Thank you!
