How to get current time from Google for Android? [closed]

Question

Is there a Google API to get current time from a timezone? If there is, how do I use it? I want to get current online time from a specific timezone, like getting "current time: 03/08/2015 11:27:54" or something like that. I want to get it from Google because of it confidence.

Thanks!

This answer does well to give a method on how to do this. https://stackoverflow.com/a/13066298/2864560

Yahoo is just as reliable as Google in terms of small things like getting Time data, so this should not be so much of a hassle. You could get the time from Android (kinda like Google) by using this link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8214204/2864560.

Another that would be reliable per user is this little piece of code

LocationManager locMan = (LocationManager) activity.getSystemService(activity.LOCATION_SERVICE);
long networkTS = locMan.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER).getTime();

That essentially gives you the time down to the second since it is using data that could be even more accurate than Google's
