Below programs illustrate the java.util.GregorianCalendar.setTimeZone() function in Java:
Program 1:
// Java Program to illustrate // GregorianCalendar.setTimeZone()// function import java.io.*;import java.util.*; class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Create a new calendar GregorianCalendar cal = (GregorianCalendar) GregorianCalendar.getInstance(); // Display the current date and time System.out.println("" + cal.getTime()); System.out.println("Current Time Zone : " + cal.getTimeZone().getDisplayName()); // Convert to another time zone cal.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("CST")); System.out.println("New Time Zone : " + cal.getTimeZone().getDisplayName()); }} |
Output:
Wed Jul 25 11:11:14 UTC 2018 Current Time Zone : Coordinated Universal Time New Time Zone : Central Standard Time
Program 2:
// Java Program to illustrate // GregorianCalendar.setTimeZone()// function import java.io.*;import java.util.*; class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Create a new calendar GregorianCalendar cal = (GregorianCalendar) GregorianCalendar.getInstance(); // Display the current date and time System.out.println("" + cal.getTime()); System.out.println("Current Time Zone : " + cal.getTimeZone().getDisplayName()); // Convert to another time zone cal.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("IST")); System.out.println("New Time Zone : " + cal.getTimeZone().getDisplayName()); }} |
Output:
Wed Jul 25 11:11:21 UTC 2018 Current Time Zone : Coordinated Universal Time New Time Zone : India Standard Time
