ANDROID ANALOG CLOCK AND DIGITAL CLOCK

The android.widget.AnalogClock and android.widget.DigitalClock classes provides the


functionality to display analog and digital clocks.

Android analog and digital clocks are used to show time in android application.

Android AnalogClock is the subclass of View class.

Android DigitalClock is the subclass of TextView class. Since Android API level 17, it is
deprecated. You are recommended to use TextClock Instead.

The AnalogClock was deprecated in API level 23. This widget is no longer supported. Instead if
you want to use AnalogClock in your application you need to hard code. It does not appear in
API level 27 to drag from palette.

In android, you need to drag analog and digital clocks from the pallet to display analog and
digital clocks.

activity_main.xml

Now, drag the analog and digital clocks, now the xml file will look like this.

File: activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
