I'm trying to get Parse server date and time but I get to know the only way is to create or update an object then retrieve the value of updatedAt.
My class
//There is only one data/object in this class
Class Test{
int times
};
My cloud code
increment of value "times" is to get current server date and time via getUpdatedAt();
Parse.Cloud.define("updateTimes", function(request, response) {
var test = Parse.Object.extend("Test");
var query = new Parse.Query(test);
query.first({
success: function(results) {
results.increment("times");
results.save();
response.success("success updated");
},
error: function() {
response.error("test lookup failed");
}
});
});
My calling at android studio
//Call updateTimes function at cloud code
ParseCloud.callFunctionInBackground("updateTimes", new HashMap<String, Object>(), new FunctionCallback<String>() {
public void done(String result, ParseException e) {
if (e == null) { //success }
}
});
//Get date and time from server
ParseQuery<ParseObject> query = ParseQuery.getQuery("Test");
query.getInBackground("i6hmOEItvI", new GetCallback<ParseObject>() {
public void done(ParseObject object, ParseException e) {
if (e == null) {
// success
serverDate = object.getUpdatedAt();
Format formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
date = formatter.format(serverDate);
Log.d("ServerDate",date);
}
});
My problem is the serverDate retrieved from objectId is not correct. The date retrieved is always the older one. However, the updateAt field in database is successfully updated. I have called ParseCloud.callFunctionInBackground before calling query object.getUpdatedAt();. Any has any idea why the date I get is not the latest?

It seems a waste to create or touch data just to see what date stamp was written. Why not return a date directly:
Parse.Cloud.define("serverDateTime", function(request, response) {
response.success({dateTime: new Date()});
});
