Formatting of DateUtils.getRelativeDateTimeString
I have used a different method and gotten the "in 23 hours" result I wanted
DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString(due,now, DateUtils.SECOND_IN_MILLIS)
According to Android Documentation, you'll need to add a flag to display "42 mins ago", instead of "42 mins ago 01/01/2020".
DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString(
item.createdAt.time,
Date().time,
DateUtils.MINUTE_IN_MILLIS,
FORMAT_ABBREV_RELATIVE
)
Can use FORMAT_ABBREV_RELATIVE flag to use abbreviated relative times, like "42 mins ago".
