timestamp in Symbian

[keanu77]

Hi....

Does something exist to use the timestamp in Symbian, in order to indicate a date/time information as a long number that is possible in other programming languages such as PHP, Java, etc. and to convert this information to/from a date class ?

In particular, I need record the time information of the reception of data messages from the net and I'd like getting a long representing the date/time of the instant and insert that into my data structure.

Can anyone suggest me something ?

Thanks....

Sure, read the SDK documentation and look for TTime.

Thanks, it's what I was searching....

Another suggestion : how can I get the present time information, a function such as Now() of other languages, for example ?

Thanks ....

Sure, read the SDK documentation and look for TTime. Do you need HomeTime() or UniversalTime() ?

It seems, that TTime represents time from 0 year, but not from 1970 year like Unix timestamp. How to convert? Substrate some seconds?

Yes, substraction is the way. Some ideas are in http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...-SYMBIAN-EPOCH or http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...7286-timestamp
