*
* @param locale
* Locale code of locale used to format the date or an empty string
* to follow user preference.
* @param dateFormatSelector
* Indicate which format should preferably be used for the date.
* Use one of the dateFormat* constants.
* @param timeFormatSelector

* The date and time to be formatted, given in the computer's local
* time zone.
