Is there any library or algorithm for Persian (Shamsi or Jalali) calendar in Android?
I want to convert Gregorian (western) date to Persian (Shamsi) date and vice versa for all versions of Android.
Is there any complete and reliable library or algorithm?
Answer
I'm using this algorithm for years and it is very accurate between 1901 and 2099.
Use it and Enjoy! :)
