// Storing date/time properties in Titanium Mobile
// (Rather than convert to text and back)

// create array and insert date/time value
var rightNowArray = [];
var rightNow = new Date();
rightNowArray.push({time:rightNow});

// store property
var nowList = Titanium.App.Properties.setList ('nowList',rightNowArray);

// retrieve property
var returnedNowList = Titanium.App.Properties.getList ('nowList');
var returnedNow = returnedNowList[0].time;

// test by performing date function on returned data 
var getTime = returnedNow.getTime();
Ti.API.info("time/date: "+getTime);
