TimeZone
represents a time zone offset, and also figures out daylight savings.
Typically, you get a TimeZone
using getDefault
which creates a TimeZone
based on the time zone where the program is running. For example, for a program running in Japan, getDefault
creates aTimeZone
object based on Japanese Standard Time.
You can also get a TimeZone
using getTimeZone
along with a time zone ID. For instance, the time zone ID for the U.S. Pacific Time zone is America/Los_Angeles
. So, you can get a U.S. Pacific Time TimeZone
object with:
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles");
List of all Java Examples.
TimeZone.getAvailableIDs()
prints all available TimeZones for your reference.
Java Example:
package crunchify.com.tutorials; import java.util.Calendar; import java.util.GregorianCalendar; import java.util.TimeZone; /** * @author Crunchify.com * */ public class CrunchifyConvertTime { public static void main(String[] args) { Calendar localTime = Calendar.getInstance(); int hour = localTime.get(Calendar.HOUR); int minute = localTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE); int second = localTime.get(Calendar.SECOND); int year = localTime.get(Calendar.YEAR); // Print the local time System.out.printf("Local time: %02d:%02d:%02d %02d\n", hour, minute, second, year); // Create a calendar object for representing a Singapore time zone. Calendar indiaTime = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Singapore")); indiaTime.setTimeInMillis(localTime.getTimeInMillis()); hour = indiaTime.get(Calendar.HOUR); minute = indiaTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE); second = indiaTime.get(Calendar.SECOND); year = indiaTime.get(Calendar.YEAR); // Print the local time in Germany time zone System.out.printf("India time: %02d:%02d:%02d %02d\n", hour, minute, second, year); // Here are all list of timezones for your reference log(TimeZone.getAvailableIDs()); } private static void log(String[] availableIDs) { System.out.println("\nHere are all list of timezones for your reference:"); for (String temp : availableIDs) { System.out.println(temp); } } }
Output:
