* and "PM" are capitalized. You should not use this flag
* because in some locales these terms cannot be capitalized, and in
* many others it doesn't make sense to do so even though it is possible.
*
*
* If FORMAT_NO_NOON is set and 12-hour time is used, then "12pm" is
* shown instead of "noon".
*
*
* If FORMAT_CAP_NOON is set and 12-hour time is used, then "Noon" is
* shown instead of "noon". You should probably not use this flag
* because in many locales it will not make sense to capitalize
* the term.
*
*
* If FORMAT_NO_MIDNIGHT is set and 12-hour time is used, then "12am" is
* shown instead of "midnight".
*
*
* If FORMAT_CAP_MIDNIGHT is set and 12-hour time is used, then "Midnight"
* is shown instead of "midnight". You should probably not use this
* flag because in many locales it will not make sense to capitalize
* the term.
*
*
* If FORMAT_12HOUR is set and the time is shown, then the time is
* shown in the 12-hour time format. You should not normally set this.
* Instead, let the time format be chosen automatically according to the
* system settings. If both FORMAT_12HOUR and FORMAT_24HOUR are set, then
* FORMAT_24HOUR takes precedence.
*
*
* If FORMAT_24HOUR is set and the time is shown, then the time is
* shown in the 24-hour time format. You should not normally set this.
* Instead, let the time format be chosen automatically according to the
* system settings. If both FORMAT_12HOUR and FORMAT_24HOUR are set, then
* FORMAT_24HOUR takes precedence.
*
*
* If FORMAT_UTC is set, then the UTC time zone is used for the start
* and end milliseconds unless a time zone is specified. If a time zone
* is specified it will be used regardless of the FORMAT_UTC flag.
*
*
* If FORMAT_ABBREV_TIME is set and 12-hour time format is used, then the
* start and end times (if shown) are abbreviated by not showing the minutes
* if they are zero. For example, instead of "3:00pm" the time would be
* abbreviated to "3pm".
*
*
* If FORMAT_ABBREV_WEEKDAY is set, then the weekday (if shown) is
* abbreviated to a 3-letter string.
*
*
* If FORMAT_ABBREV_MONTH is set, then the month (if shown) is abbreviated
* to a 3-letter string.
*
*
* If FORMAT_ABBREV_ALL is set, then the weekday and the month (if shown)
* are abbreviated to 3-letter strings.
*
*
* If FORMAT_NUMERIC_DATE is set, then the date is shown in numeric format
* instead of using the name of the month. For example, "12/31/2008"
* instead of "December 31, 2008".
*
*
* If the end date ends at 12:00am at the beginning of a day, it is
* formatted as the end of the previous day in two scenarios:
*
* - For single day events. This results in "8pm - midnight" instead of
* "Nov 10, 8pm - Nov 11, 12am".
* - When the time is not displayed. This results in "Nov 10 - 11" for
* an event with a start date of Nov 10 and an end date of Nov 12 at
* 00:00.
