Question

CharSequence string = DateUtils.getRelativeDateTimeString(getActivity(), System.currentTimeMillis(), DateUtils.MINUTE_IN_MILLIS,

Answer 2

You can do it by doing:

CharSequence string = (DateUtils.getRelativeDateTimeString(getActivity(), System.currentTimeMillis(), DateUtils.MINUTE_IN_MILLIS,
        DateUtils.DAY_IN_MILLIS, DateUtils.FORMAT_ABBREV_RELATIVE)).subSequence(string.length() - 5, string.length());
