Getting the current time zone in android application [duplicate]

Question

How can I get the current time zone in my Android application? I tried to use this

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance( userConfig.locale); TimeZone tz = cal.getTimeZone();    

But I am not getting the timezone from it. How can I display the timezone?

Answer 1

Use this

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); TimeZone tz = cal.getTimeZone(); Log.d("Time zone","="+tz.getDisplayName()); 

or you can also use the java.util.TimeZone class

TimeZone.getDefault().getDisplayName() 

Answer 2

String timezoneID = TimeZone.getDefault().getID(); System.out.println(timezoneID); 

In my Console, it prints Asia/Calcutta

And any Date Format, I set it Like....

SimpleDateFormat sdf2 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy"); sdf2.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(timezoneID));
