Android app shows dates in American format, not British / Rest of The World format

richardburt

I've been adding various details to the 1Password account through the Windows desktop app and the date formats are all correct (dd/mm/yy).

On my Android phone (set to UK location and date format) the date formats in the 1Password app are all US style (mm/dd/yy).

For example, the Passport card on the Desktop version displays the dates correctly but the Android app displays them in US style even if I re-enter them in the phone.

Is there a fix for this?

Hi @richardburt. We currently display dates in either yyyy-mm-dd or yyyy-mm date formats on Android, and there's not a way to change this at the moment. However, I'll pass the request on to our team. Let us know if you need anything else! ref: OPA-1034

I'm not an Android developer but a quick two minute search on Google brought this bit of code up on Stackoverflow:

Date date = new Date(location.getTime());
DateFormat dateFormat = android.text.format.DateFormat.getDateFormat(getApplicationContext());
mTimeText.setText("Time: " + dateFormat.format(date));

Pass this on to your software devs please and I'll claim 0.005% of your yearly sales as payment.
