Util [Resource] Formatting Time!

Hate seeing some long meaningless integer like "4849 seconds" in your plugin? Well, this resource allows you to format time with ease: The method auto-magically formats your time into days, hours, minutes, and seconds.

For example:

90289 seconds will be input and printed out as 1 day 1 hour 4 minutes 49 seconds

To call the method in another class, just do TimeUtil.format(integer as seconds):

Code:java

public void timeSurvived(Player p) {
    int time = 48937;
 
    p.sendMessage("You have survived for" + TimeUtil.format(time) + "!");
}

Download the class here.

I hope you use it and like it!

 

Nice, this will come in handy formatting tempban and tempmute

 

Well, its seems like there is something wrong:

Code:java

final Date d1 = new Date();
        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(Core.getInstance(), new Runnable() {
 
            @Override
            public void run() {
                Date d2 = new Date();
                long time = d2.getTime()-d1.getTime();
                System.out.println("TIME PASSED: " + TimeUtil.formatTime((int) time));
            }
        }, Integer.parseInt(args.getArgs()[0]));

gives me : TIME PASSED: 2 Stunden 46 Minuten 40 Sekunden (translated that into german, it is hours,minutes and seconds in english)

There's another way to do it, I deem that it looks better as for what it returns, and is a bit shorter, in terms of amount of lines.

Code:java

public String ticksToTime(long ticks) {
    long fullTime = timeTics / 20;
    long mins = (int) TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(fullTime) % 60;
    long secs = (int) TimeUnit.SECONDS.toSeconds(fullTime) % 60;
 
    return String.format("%02d:%02d", mins, secs);
}
 
public String secondsToTime(int seconds) {
    long mins = (int) TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(seconds) % 60;
    long secs = (int) TimeUnit.SECONDS.toSeconds(seconds) % 60;
 
    return String.format("%02d:%02d", mins, secs);
}

 

You know times are hard when you need to provide people with this kind of things.

Yours is shorter because you do not incorporate days or hours. Longs are better if you want obscenely large times, otherwise your parameter could just be an integer * 20

MiniDigger
The way it is parsed it will not tell you days if the amount of days is 0

AoH_Ruthless I got my error. I passed miliseconds and not seconds which caused the wrong values.

 

Not to burst your time bubble, but Dragonphase made something almost exactly like this.

It doesn't burst my bubble, the more resources the merrier

 

Amazing job!

 

Time to get out the pin.

 

Date.getTime() doesn't return seconds IIRC

 

well, I allready got my stupid error

But thanks anyway
