Try to replace the “instant” section. See pricture. Then it should work.

Thank you @schnleon but I’m taking time from timedb server so i cannot replace that block, any more suggestions?

So the “Timedb” has a different time than the user?

EDIT: if it is the same time then do it like this. You can change the pattern as you like.

Hi
Don’t store time in any format.
When you are saving to TinyDB, just save the entire instance (Clock1.Now should be value of TinyDB.store)
You can then use that instance and format it to the type you want.

No it’s not the same time, because i wanted universal time so i fetch it from internet! And it’s in string, i think that’s why its not working.

The call “clock”.Now method returns a “Calendar” and not a string.
Calendar = java.util.Calendar;

So you can not us a string as instant.
