Is it possible to set in - app time

I am building an app for a game server, within the app I would like to have a countdown timer for showing when the server restarts (every 4 hours) I have made the app and it works beautifully but the only issue I have is that it works from the time on my device (GMT+0) obviously if another person living in any other time zone should use the app it would be inaccurate.

What I wanted to know was: Is it possible to set the time in the app to be GMT+0 regardless of where you are in the world?



you could get that time from an API, for example this one https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/timezone/ or do a Google search for other APIs




Maybe a good idea for someone who knows what they are doing! Lol. I have no idea how to set something like that up. Are there any other ways of doing it that are more simple?

Merry Christmas!



Simple?   App Inventor is not simple, it is merely convenient to use to program for a small subset of things that can be done on an Android device.

Here are different ways programmers using other various Android languages can determine the time zone of the device an app is being run on.  https://www.google.com/search?q=android+find+time+zone&oq=android+find+time+zone&aqs=chrome..69i57.4415j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8

How you get that information to work with Ai2 is your holiday assignment Jon.  Do some reading about it, have some fun and when you get a solution, post your conclusions.

Merry Christmas,
