Android Studio Analog and Digital

Syntax

The syntax for creating an analog and digital clock in Android Studio is quite simple. For the Analog Clock, use the following code:

<AnalogClock
    android:id="@+id/analogClock"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    />

For the Digital Clock, use the following code:

<DigitalClock
    android:id="@+id/digitalClock"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="30sp"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    />

Example

Let's take an example of how to use the Analog and Digital Clock widgets in your Android application.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <AnalogClock
        android:id="@+id/analogClock"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"/>

    <DigitalClock
        android:id="@+id/digitalClock"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="30sp"
        android:layout_gravity="center" />

</LinearLayout>

Output

The output of the above code will result in an Analog Clock and a Digital Clock displayed in the center of the screen.
