I wanted to get the current time zone in my android application. How can I get it. I tried to use this
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance( userConfig.locale);
TimeZone tz = cal.getTimeZone();
But i am not getting from it. How can i display the timezone
Use this
ReplyDeleteCalendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
TimeZone tz = cal.getTimeZone();
Log.d("Time zone","="+tz.getDisplayName());
or you can also use this
Timezone.getDefault()
String timezoneID = TimeZone.getDefault().getID();
ReplyDeleteSystem.out.println(timezoneID);
In my Console its print Asia/Calcutta
And any Date Format I set it Like....
SimpleDateFormat sdf2 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
sdf2.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(timezoneID));
if u want to display the current time, u got to run on it on the UI thread,
ReplyDeletethis worked for me!
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
dateTxt.setText(new Date().toString());
}
});
}
}, 0, 1000);
