jodaTime PeriodFormatter not formatting correctly

I have this PeriodFormatter:

PeriodFormatterBuilder()
            .appendDays()
            .appendSuffix(
                " day",
                " days")
            )
            .appendSeparator(", ")
            .printZeroRarelyLast()
            .appendHours()
            .appendSuffix(
                " hours",
                " hours"
            )
            .appendSeparator(" ")
            .appendMinutes()
            .appendSuffix(" minute")
            .toFormatter()
            .let {
                Period(Seconds.seconds(seconds.toInt())).toString(it)
            }

I want to give seconds as input and get x DAYS, x HOURS, x MINUTES back.... I get an empty String back when doing this. If i add "appendSeconds()" to the formatter creation I get the same amount of seconds back as a return value as I sent in..

I need the conversion, not just the amount, and I'm not interested in number of seconds, but how many minutes, hours and days it accounts to.. Anyone who can help?

You need to use Period.normalizedStandard() to persuade your period to convert your seconds into minutes, hours and days.

            Period(Seconds.seconds(seconds.toInt())).normalizedStandard().toString(it)

(Not sure whether the empty round brackets () are needed in Kotlin. They are in Java, where I tested.)
