Server Time

🕜 ServerTimeAndroid is a light library to get real UNIX time from the Google server in Android. Sometimes phone's local date can be wrong so for the best accuracy it is better to get time from the server. It gets time from the Google server and always gets the correct date.

Setup

Add the maven library bucket to the dependencyResolutionManagement.repositories block in settings.gradle.kts file as follows:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
  ...
  repositories {
    ...
    maven("https://jitpack.io")
  }
}

Install the library to the project in desired module's build.gradle.kts file. Replace <current_version> with the actual version:

implementation("com.github.raheemadamboev:server-time-android:<current_version>")

Implementation

Get server time (callback API):

 ServerTime().execute { time ->
  
  when (time) {
    ServerTime.Result.UNKNOWN_HOST -> { 
      // handle internet not working or error in host                      
    }

    ServerTime.Result.IO_EXCEPTION -> { 
      // handle io exception                  
    }

    else -> { 
      // time (milli seconds) was retreived successfully
      // println(Date(time).toString())
    }
  }
}

Get server time (suspend API):

 viewModelScope.launch {
   val time = ServerTime().execute()
  
   when (time) {
     ServerTime.Result.UNKNOWN_HOST -> { 
       // handle internet not working or error in host                      
     }

     ServerTime.Result.IO_EXCEPTION -> { 
       // handle io exception                  
     }

     else -> { 
       // time (milli seconds) was retreived successfully
       // println(Date(time).toString())
     }
   }
}
