Provide Option for Military Time #515

Closed aesculus closed 6 years ago

aesculus commented 6 years ago

Some users don't like the AM PM thing and would like to see times via 24 hour format.

EVGrokker commented 6 years ago

The obvious place for a 'Time Format' setting would be in the Settings panel.

One approach would be to reduce the width of the Default Start time to half, then use the other half for a 'Format' pair of radio buttons, '12' and '24'.

Or, you could reduce Location Services to half width, putting it on the same line as Default Start Time, and put a full-width pair of radio buttons 'AM/PM' and '24' grouped with Imperial/Metric and Percent/Distance.

I actually created the half wide start time with a format picker. Looked ok.

Then realized that the system was set to a user's format preference so no need to ask.

Now I am hunting for a means to find out what the systems setting is.

I could not find anyway to detect the user's time format so took your suggestion and added it to the line where the default start time is on Settings

I'd suggest that the Default Start Time change to match the selected Time Format.

For example, the default is '8:00 AM'. If the user selects the '24 hour' time format, the display format for the Default Start Time field should switch to '0800'.

It's a bit of a funky solution. The picker just sets the output format. You have to go to the device settings and choose your input format. On top of that I noticed on my Android it still wanted to display the input in AM/PM even though I could pick in 24 hours. Not sure why and I have no control over how the picker behaves.
