Set time format to AM/PM runs into an illegal character exception

[Zimmermann]

Hi 

I like to set the time format to AM/PM. It works fine to set the time format to 24 hours but I'm not able to set the time format to AM/PM.

The pattern I use is "hh tt". I always get an exception that the 't' is not valid. What is the pattern for using AM/PM format?

The code in the XAML is:

                      <syncSchedule:DayViewSettings.DayLabelSettings>

                            <syncSchedule:DayLabelSettings TimeFormat="{Binding TimeFormat}" />

                        </syncSchedule:DayViewSettings.DayLabelSettings>

where as the time format is set to "hh tt".

Regards

Hi

Many thanks for the replay. Unfortunately, the app allows to switch from 24 hours format to 12 hours format with AM/PM. I tried several ways like setting the string to null, or just make an empty string but nothing brings the AM/PM format back.

Do you have any suggestion how I can achieve this.

We would like to inform you that you can overcome this scenario by setting the Time Format as “hh:mm aa” for the android platform. Please refer to the following code snippet for your reference. 

 

Code snippet 

<schedule:DayViewSettings.DayLabelSettings> 

    <schedule:DayLabelSettings TimeFormat="{OnPlatform Android=hh:mm aa, UWP=hh:mm tt}"  

                                TimeLabelSize="{OnPlatform Android=Micro}"> 

    </schedule:DayLabelSettings> 

    </schedule:DayViewSettings.DayLabelSettings> 

</schedule:DayViewSettings> 

 

We hope this helps.
