Introduction

Time awareness is used to obtain holiday information in most regions and sunrise and sunset time of all cities around the world.

Barrier API

This API is used to set a timer or a barrier based on the target time. For example, one hour before and after the sunrise can be set as a sunrise barrier.

Capture API

We can use the Capture API to obtains the current local time or time of a specified location, such as working day, weekend, holiday, morning, afternoon, evening, or late at night.

For calling Time Awareness capability we have to assign the given permissions in the manifest file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
