Show Current Time

[T W]

I have an app with multiple pages. On one of the pages I want it to display the current time.  Does anyone know how to do that. Every tutorial or post I seem to find is all about timers/stopwatches, etc. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thank you.  But what do I put on the designer screen.  How do I designate where I want the clock to be displayed?

[Taifun]

what about using a label?

btw. probably simpler it is to use the Clock.FormatDate block together with the pattern HH:mm:ss see also https://puravidaapps.com/snippets.php#2getdate and the available patterns here https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook   http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page.  The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.

There is a free programming course here http://www.appinventor.org/content/CourseInABox/Intro  and the aia files for the projects in the book are here:  http://www.appinventor.org/bookFiles  

How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here:  http://www.appinventor.org/content/howDoYou/eventHandling  .

Also do the tutorials http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/tutorials.html to learn the basics of App Inventor, then try something and follow the

 Top 5 Tips: How to learn  App Inventor

You will not find a tutorial, which does exactly what you are looking for. But doing the tutorials (not only reading a little bit) help you to understand, how things are working. This is important and this is the first step to do.

As you can see on the example I posted, it uses a single LABEL component, and a CLOCK component (set at least to 1000 ms). 

It's up to you where to put it in the screen (anywhere).

Have you followed any basic tutorials yet? Looks like you didn't, so please do it and have fun creating.
