How to check “Automatic date and time” is enabled or not?

Question

I need to check whether \"Automatic date and time\" in the android device is enabled or not. If it is not enabled I need to display the popup that it is not enabled.

Answer 1

public static boolean isTimeAutomatic(Context c) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
        return Settings.Global.getInt(c.getContentResolver(), Settings.Global.AUTO_TIME, 0) == 1;
    } else {
        return android.provider.Settings.System.getInt(c.getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.AUTO_TIME, 0) == 1;
    }
}

Answer 2

I would just like to point out that it is possible to cheat (I just did it on a Samsung Galaxy S4, Android 5.0.1):

• Disable auto time
• Disconnect from the internets (airplane mode, no wifi etc...)
• reboot phone (otherwise the real time is retrieved)
• set auto time on

Done today:

Unix time: 1129294173

Date: 14102005024933

is automatic? 1 (using android.provider.Settings.Global.getInt(getActivity().getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.Global.AUTO_TIME, 0))

And today definitely isn't Oct 14, 2005

Answer 3

if(Settings.Global.getInt(getContentResolver(), Global.AUTO_TIME) == 1)
{
    // Enabled
}
else
{
    // Disabed
}
