Hello,  
is it possible get current date (from phone example) without using an external API?

Thanks  
Andrea

@Andrea_Marchisio you can use “timer” component to get and set current date/time etc. 👓

Hello,

Do you need to display the current date and time value or use them in some operations?

Hi,  
I save user data registration on firebase, and I’d like to save also the current date as log … just so.  
I think I cannot do that with timer (that I already use for Splash screen example) that only count the time.

Thanks  
Andrea

Using the Firebase Javascript API you can save this data to Firebase. Call JavaScript in WebViewer, get date and save it in Firebase.
