How can I detect current time format that is set on users phone (12 AM/PM or 24 hrs)?
There is native Android method
DateFormat.is24HourFormat(context);
but I cant find similar in Flutter
Flutter Convert TimeOfDay to 24 hours format | Technical Feeder. final time = TimeOfDay(hour: 21, minute: 12); time. toString(); // TimeOfDay(21:12) We expect that it returns hh:mm format but actually not. TimeOfDay has format method that converts to 12 hours format.
How do you get AM PM from time in Flutter? DateTime now = DateTime. now(); String formattedDate = DateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd – kk:mm').
To format DateTime in Flutter using a standard format, you need to use the intl library and then use the named constructors from the DateFormat class. Simply write the named constructor and then call the format() method with providing the DateTime.
bool is24HoursFormat = MediaQuery.of(context).alwaysUse24HourFormat;
Docs here
Whether to use 24-hour format when formatting time.
The behavior of this flag is different across platforms:
On Android this flag is reported directly from the user settings called "Use 24-hour format". It applies to any locale used by the application, whether it is the system-wide locale, or the custom locale set by the application.
On iOS this flag is set to true when the user setting called "24-Hour Time" is set or the system-wide locale's default uses 24-hour formatting.
