Time Format Extension - Millis to [HH:mm:ss] - [days + HH:mm:ss] - [HH:mm] - [mm:ss] etc

[ABG]

There's no format code for zone offset?

[TIMAI2]

A small z should provide the offset

App Inventor Clock problem

To understand this behavior, we have to be rigorous about the definitions of the terms Instant Duration An Instant is a milestone on the road of time. The road starts in the year 1970. Some Instants are Milestones in today's section of the road, starting at midnight, depending on where you got them (DatePicker vs TimePicker, etc.) You can tell you have an Instant when you try to display it as text and you get a lot of labelled details you did not expect. A Duration is a pure number of mil…

There is a long discussion on this problem here.

Is there any way simpler to get to this same result?!?

Here's a recursive blocks only approach.
You have to divide milliseconds by 1000 and round on your way into the function.

Thanks for this idea...

But it still seemed to me a complex way, to break a temporal expression in parts and mathematically deal with these fractions until it reaches the goal.

Ahh! This was simple and elegant!

Convert mm:ss in HH:mm:ss and resolve with the TFormat extension itself

This is the answer I were looking for!

Thank you

PS: In the next version of the extension you could add a lapse multiplier ^^
