Android wont calculate large numbers?

[diefox]

So, i was working on a way to compare a timedate saved in the player save date to the actual time in the players device.

pretend its 2016, june(6), day(6), 14pm and 30minutes

I ended up doing this: year+month(+100)+day(+100)+hour(+100)+minutes(+100 )

the (+100) is to avoid CF to return me 7 when i need 07, so adding 100 kinda solved it.

in the end i load this data as STR in a string object and the result is this: 2016106106114130, and i save it to the ini
lets say tthat 5 minutes later another STR objects does the same calculations and return me 2016106106114135.

those numbers are stored as strings in string objects

So, using the STRtoVAl conversion in event editor, i do this:
2016106106114130 - 2016106106114135 = 5 (the really important variable)

my problem is: THAT WORKS IN PC RUNTIME but in android it just wont give me this final result, everyhting else loads and run just fine but it just wont calculate those numbers.

i dont know if its clear to see in the screen shot above, the ZERO below the green object should be giving me the difference between those 2 big numbers in a string.

the final question is: does the android runtime has any difficulty when working with big numbers?

the integer limit is set as mentioned in this page

https://developer.android.com/refere...g/Integer.html

the timestamp are long values comparing to integer so it won't fit in the range of values.

From what I'm seeing here, you could shorten it up to YYMMDDHHMM and not run into integer problems until 2022
