Java 'TimeAgo' multilanguage library 1.5.0

This is a Java port of the jquery-timeago plug-in. Please visit the jquery-timeago project page to read more about fuzzy timestamps.

This library is forked from Kevin Sawicki's 'java-timeago' to support more than only one language. Feel free to fork it and add your own!

It supports English, Spanish, Italian, French and German at the time.

Importing into your project

Maven

• Add the repository

<repository>
	    <id>jitpack.io</id>
	    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
</repository>

• Add the dependency

<dependency>
	    <groupId>com.github.pedroadame</groupId>
	    <artifactId>Java-TimeAgo-Multilanguage</artifactId>
	    <version>1.5.0</version>
</dependency>

Gradle

1. Add this to your build file (your app's module build.gradle if you're integrating it in Android with Android Studio)

repositories {
	    maven {
	        url "https://jitpack.io"
	    }
}
dependencies {
	        compile 'com.github.pedroadame:java-timeAgo-multilanguage:1.5.0'
}

If you're using Android Studio, the build.gradle file would be like this:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.app"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
        versionName "0.1"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    productFlavors {
    }
}
repositories {
    maven {
        url "https://jitpack.io"
    }
    //Other repositories... p.e. mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile 'com.github.pedroadame:java-timeAgo-multilanguage:1.5.0'
    //Other libraries...
}

Usage

TimeAgo time = new TimeAgo("en"); //For English text.
//TimeAgo time = new TimeAgo("it"); //For Italian text.
//TimeAgo time = new TimeAgo("es"); //For Spanish text.
//TimeAgo time = new TimeAgo("de"); //For German text.
//TimeAgo time = new TimeAgo("fr"); //For French text.


long current = System.currentTimeMillis();
String minutes = time.timeAgo(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));	// returns "15 minutes ago"
String hours = time.timeUntil(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));	// returns "6 hours from now"
