Display current date and time

Hello everyone,
how can I display the current date and time in a simple text field?
Best Mobilizer

Hello,
You can simply use
now()
You can also do more complex things with this.
Text(Now(),"hh:mm:ss a/p")
Check the following page for all the possible functions

Displaying Current Date and Time in JSP

Hi,
I need to insert the current date time in Ms SQL Server Database using jsp page. The format of the code willbe
insert into table(update_date) values ('2007-01-01 10:02:21');
But i am not getting how to display the current date and time ie. 2007-01-01 10:02:21 using jsp.
I have tried using
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
String dd = sdf.format(cal.getTime());
insert into table(update_date) values (dd);
But it didnot get inserted data.
Can anybody figure out with simple ideas.
Thank You

Why then are you trying to insert the current date on a table?
To show the current date on the JSP you might try
<%=new Date()%>Or the way you had it on your first post with the date formatter and then use the <%=%> tags. Anyway, it seems to me I'm not really understanding what you actually want to do :-p
P.S. NOW() is a MySQL function too, not only MSSQL server (didn't even know it had it too ;-))
mysql> insert into a(up) values (now());
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from a;

Use a formula: =NOW()
Format the cell for Date and Time, with both the Date part and the Time part displayed. Format the two parts as you wish, using the choices in the Inspector's menus.
The cell will update each time the table is recalculated.
(Description is for Numbers '09 (Mac), Numbers for iOS will be similar, but not necessarly identical in details.)

I'm trying to display the current date and time on my iPad.

First, I'm not sure this is a valid post to this forum. If not, I'd appreciate knowg in where I can get help.
I have tried several ways to display the current date and time on my iPad. None work. Most things I try give me complier errors but the latest code compiles but won't display the correct time.
Here's the dispatch code in my ViewController.m file:
dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_HIGH, 0ul);
    dispatch_async(queue, ^{
        [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:NSTimeInterval)1.0f target:self selector:@selector(updateLabel:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
Here's the updateLabel code: (which never gets executed).
- (void)updateLabel:(id) sender {
    dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    NSLog(@"Datefield Update Called");
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy 'at' HH:mm ZZZZ"];
    NSDate *dayTime = [NSDate date];
    NSString *formattedDateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:dayTime];
        _dateField.text = formattedDateString;
    [self.view addSubview:_dateField];
    NSLog(@"Datefield %@",_dateField.text);

Your code is needlessly complicated and has a few problems:
// These objects should be created only once.
NSTimer *dateAndTimeTimer; (You might need to make this a property with a strong reference).
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEEE, MMMMM dd, yyyy 'at' HH:mm ZZZZ"];
// The subview should only be added once.
[self.view addSubview:_dateField];
[self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(startDateAndTimeTimer)
                        withObject:nil
                     waitUntilDone:YES];
-(void)startDateAndTimeTimer
    NSTimer *timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1
                                                      target:self
                                                    selector:@selector(updateLabel)
                                                    userInfo:nil
                                                     repeats:YES];
    dateAndTimeTimer = timer;
    [[NSRunLoop mainRunLoop] addTimer:dateAndTimeTimer forMode:NSRunLoopCommonModes];
-(void)updateLabel
     NSDate *dateTime = [NSDate date];
     NSString *formattedDataString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:dateTime];
     _dateField.text = formattedDateString;
     NSLog(@"_dateField.text=%@", _dateField.text);

Wrote the current Date and Time in the backend

HI everyone,
I created a table view, where I display several records. Right now I will add an record to this table, which should be written back in the backend and automaticaly add the current date and time.
But I don´t know to make this. I tried several time with the funktion "now()", but it doesn´t work. So any help for me, to explain how I can display the actual time and then write it back to the backend?
Thanks

we use a crm system. but the BAPI I mentioned was
just to play with. My basis will develop a new API
for the project, that have the requested Inputfields.
But what I tottaly forget was, that there has to be a
field for the time, so thanks for the advice.
No Problem.
I´m still of the opinion , that it should be possible
to add the curret time in a field with the
funcionality of the VC, even there is a way to show a
clock with the current time. My problem is that I
can´t figuer out how to do this.
Therefore you can use the TNow() function (Time functions) and the Now() Function (Date functions). You can cast them to a string and concatenate the string, then you have the date of today with the current time. This string you can format and transfer it as input for your BAPI_ADD_BP for example.
Hope that helps.
Best Regards,
Marcel

Put the current date and time in a string

I am having trouble trying to put the current date and time from my Calendar object into a string
any ideas?

Calendar timeCal = Calendar.getInstance();
timeCal.setTime(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime ));
String date = formatToTwoDigits(timeCal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY)) + ":" +
formatToTwoDigits(timeCal.get(Calendar.MINUTE)) + ":" +
formatToTwoDigits(timeCal.get(Calendar.SECOND));
private String formatToTwoDigits(int i) {
String ret = null;
i = i % 100;
if (i < 10) {
ret = "0" + Integer.toString(i);
} else {
ret = Integer.toString(i);
return ret;
You can figure out yourselve how to display the date, use other Calendar.XXX properties.
Good luck!

Can Iphoto display the date and time of a pic on the pic?

I know I can get info and see a pics info, but can Iphoto display the date and time of a pic on the pic itself?

Use the Photos->Batch Change menu option to set the Title to Date and Time. That will give you what you want under each thumbnail.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in the library rebuild pane, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

Is there a way to display the date and time on my officejet 6500

HP Officejet 6500a Plus Windows XP_ Is there a way to display the date and time on the display of my printer

Are you referring to the Date and Time some cameras put right on the image? If so there is nothing really good in iPhoto to do this. You could try the Retouch tool and see how that looks but I think you will need something more precise and powerful, like the clone tool in Aperture.
Also something like PhotoShop or GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program (free) should do what you want also.
If your asking about some other date post back.

Insert current date and time into Oracle date type field

I have a JDBC current date and time insert into Oracle 9i that almost works. It submits the current date and a fixed time into the Oracle date type field. I am using Tomcat 6.0.20.
For example if I insert the data at 7:24:04 PM on Feb 16, 2010 it will insert as: 16-Feb-2010 12:00:00 AM
The date part works but the time always shows 12:00:00 AM no matter what date or time the data is inserted.
Here is what I have for my JDBC inserts and I also tried something with DateFormat:
PreparedStatement ps; Date mydate = new Date(new java.util.Date().getTime()); //insert statement here.... stmt.setDate(1,mydate);
I also tried:
PreparedStatement ps; java.sql.Timestamp mydate = new java.sql.Timestamp(new java.util.Date().getTime()); SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat(.... //insert statement here.... ps.setTimestamp(1,fmt.format(mydate));
Both keep submitting the date into Oracle as 16-Feb-2010 12:00:00 AM
Anyway to get the current date and time? For example if I insert the data at 7:24.04 pm today it should show as 16-Feb-2010 07:24.04 PM in Oracle.

If you want a date and time then use java.sql.Timestamp.

Problem with getting current date and time using oracle.jbo.domain.Date

I`d like to get current date and time using oracle.jbo.domain.Date method getCurrentDate(), but it always return current date and 12:00:00. I also need to get the current time.

I think you should use java.sql.Timestamp domain.
(And set database type to TIME or DATETIME.)

Current date and time

What is the simpliest call in Visual C++ with Measurement Studio to extract the current date and time? I am trying to have such info as 1315032804 for March 28th, 2004 at 1:15 pm. Thanks in advance for your advice.

There are a few options, depending on what format you want the time and what kind of operations you're planning to do with it:
ATL/MFC - CTime::GetCurrentTime
ATL/MFC - COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime
Win32 - GetSystemTime
Win32 - GetLocalTime
