In summary, the conversation was about creating a time selector with hour and minute options. The person was looking for a way to cycle through numbers using up and down arrows, similar to a wrist watch or a cellphone clock app. The term for this functionality is "spinner" and a link to a tutorial for creating one was provided.

I want to make a time selector, basically. I want to have an hour and minute selector, but I want there to be an up arrow and down arrow to cycle through 1-12 and another one for minutes 0-59. Does anyone know what this is called?

All cellphones that I know of have a 'clock' app which is part of the OS.
Used to set alarms at some of day if you need to get on a bus or similar.
