TimeInput

A widget to select a clock time.

Not supported

Usage

import toga

current_time = toga.TimeInput()

Notes

  • This widget supports hours, minutes and seconds. Microseconds will always be returned as zero.

    • On Android, seconds will also be returned as zero.

  • Properties that return datetime.time objects can also accept:

    • datetime.datetime: The time portion will be extracted.

    • str: Will be parsed as an ISO8601 format time string (e.g., “06:12”).
