How to convert a String to TimeZone : Android

Question

I am having a String myString = "Asia/kolkata";

I need to set TimeZone.setDefault(myString);

I have tried as mentioned above. But String cannot be given in TimeZone parameter.

How to set this?

Answer 1

You use TimeZone.getTimeZone(String) to get the time zone, then you can set that as the default.
