Why aren't Java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit types greater than SECONDS available in Android?

Question

I miss MINUTES, HOURS, DAYS, which exist in documentaion since API level 1 (I use 7th or 2.1 version for the application).

I have read this question, where this miss was also pointed out (though, it wasn't in the question itself), but as solution making own calculations was only proposed.

I am not lazy, but I send some data to server (Java project), where TimeUnit.MINUTES or TimeUnit.HOURS are actively used. Just want to avoid mistakes.

Will be grateful for any help.

Answer 1

If you open the javadoc for TimeUnit on java 5 and java 6 side by side you will see that these were added in java 6. Android so far only implements java 5.
