David Perez

May 2, 2026

## About the talk

Have you ever felt frustrated trying to figure out how to model time in your Android app? The options are dizzying: ZonedDateTime, OffsetDateTime, dare I say... GregorianCalendar?
Our talk will give you **everything** you will ever need to know about modeling and displaying time in an Android application.
We'll cover which time APIs you should use, which ones you should avoid, and how to model and display timestamps in a wide variety of use cases.

_This will be the last Android talk about time you'll ever need to attend!_
