Usage

final bool is24Hour = await RigidDatetime().getTimeFormat();

API

Method	Return Type	Description
getTimeFormat()	Future<bool>	Returns true when the device uses a 24-hour clock and false when it uses a 12-hour clock.

---

How It Works

The plugin communicates with the native platform using Flutter's MethodChannel to retrieve the device's preferred time format.

On Android, it uses:

DateFormat.is24HourFormat(context)

to determine whether the device is configured to use a 24-hour clock.
