In Python for S60, is it possible convert a date object, from a query or a form, to a string ?
If possible, how to do it ?
Thanks

Hi apffal,

Yes, you can convert a date to a string using a query/form.

For example:

import appuifw

date = appuifw.query(u"Type a date:", "date")

In this case, 'date' variable will be what the user typed in the query, that will be already set for a date input


Hope it helps,

Rafael.

But, if I use that code in a query with, for instance, today's date, it prints the string '1225324800.0'
What's wrong ?

Hi apffal,

You're right. It returns this big numbers because they are displayed in seconds

From Python Library Reference:

•For date fields, it is seconds since epoch rounded down to the nearest local midnight.

Unfortunately, you can't display the date directly in default mode (dd/mm/yyyy)


BR,

See localtime([secs]) and then strftime(format[, t]) here.

Problem solved.
Thank you.
