Is there a good way to format a Duration in something like hh:mm:ss, without having to deal with time zones?
I tried this:
DateTime durationDate = DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(0);
String duration = DateFormat('hh:mm:ss').format(durationDate);
But I always get 1 hour to much, in this case it would say 01:00:00
And When I do this:
Duration(milliseconds: 0).toString();
I get this: 0:00:00.000000
You can use Duration
and implement this method:
String _printDuration(Duration duration) {
String twoDigits(int n) {
if (n >= 10) return "$n";
return "0$n";
}
String twoDigitMinutes = twoDigits(duration.inMinutes.remainder(60));
String twoDigitSeconds = twoDigits(duration.inSeconds.remainder(60));
return "${twoDigits(duration.inHours)}:$twoDigitMinutes:$twoDigitSeconds";
}
Usage:
final now = Duration(seconds: 30);
print("${_printDuration(now)}");
You can start creating a format yourself, come on this one:
String sDuration="${duration.inHours}:${duration.inMinutes.remainder(60)}:${(duration.inSeconds.remainder(60))}
Here's another version. It's all preference at this point, but I liked that it was dry and didn't need a function declaration (the wrapping function is obviously optional) though it is definately a bit function chaining heavy.
Compact
String formatTime(double time) {
Duration duration = Duration(milliseconds: time.round());
return [duration.inHours, duration.inMinutes, duration.inSeconds].map((seg) => seg.remainder(60).toString().padLeft(2, '0')).join(':');
}
Formatted version
String timeFormatter (double time) {
Duration duration = Duration(milliseconds: time.round());
return [duration.inHours, duration.inMinutes, duration.inSeconds]
.map((seg) => seg.remainder(60).toString().padLeft(2, '0'))
.join(':');
}
The shortest, most elegant and reliable way to get HH:mm:ss
from a Duration
is doing:
format(Duration d) => d.toString().split('.').first.padLeft(8, "0");
Example usage:
main() {
final d1 = Duration(hours: 17, minutes: 3);
final d2 = Duration(hours: 9, minutes: 2, seconds: 26);
final d3 = Duration(milliseconds: 0);
print(format(d1)); // 17:03:00
print(format(d2)); // 09:02:26
print(format(d3)); // 00:00:00
}
You can use this:
print('${duration.inHours.toString().padLeft(2, '0')}:
${duration.inMinutes.remainder(60).toString().padLeft(2, '0')}:
${duration.inSeconds.remainder(60).toString().padLeft(2, '0')}');
To do this in a way that is portable, consider the intl
package DateFormat
