Calculated Time Not Showing on Phone but Shows Up in App Preview

Users
1

​Hello,
I have an app which displays the time spent in filling a form as soon as
you enter the very last data on the same form.

When I enter data using App Preview, it works fine as per the attached
image but when I fill the form on Android Mobile phone it is not able to
compute the time difference.

Please, any idea why this is so?

Yaw,

Is it possible that that form was simply completed in under one minute?

Cheers,
Will

Hi Will,
No. I intentionally delayed the filling of the form such that it will give
me something more than 3 minutes.

In fact, I did it more than once and in all cases this was the result.

I see. Could you post the calculations for these various hidden values
(timeIn, timeOut, totalTime, endTime)?

Thanks,
Will

Hi,
Please see attached.
I actually used StartTime, EndTime, TotalTime and DurationMinutes for the
computations.

1.* StartTime*: This is a Hidden Value with Default Value field set to:
double(now())

2.* EndTime*: This is a Hidden Value with Calculate Condition field set to:
double(now())

3.* TotalTime*: This is a Hidden Value with Calculate Condition set to:
EndTime - StartTime

4.* DurationMinutes*: This is a Hidden Value with Calculate Condition set
to: int(((#form/TotalTtime * 24) - int(#form/TotalTtime * 24)) * 60)

My TimeIn and TimeOut were only used to display time. They are all Hidden
Values.
TimeIn has Default Value set as: format-date(now(), '%H:%M') whilst TimeOut
has the Calculate Condition set as: format-date(now(), '%H:%M')

Hi Yaw,

Interesting, your form configuration looks good - could you please report a
bug https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Bug+Reports so
that our team can take a closer look?

Thanks,
Will
