Below programs illustrate the working of getDisplayName() Method of TimeZone:
Example 1:

The Display name for the locale is: UTC
Example 2:
// Java code to illustrate getDisplayName()  import java.util.*;  public class TimeZone_Demo {    public static void main(String args[])    {          // Creating a time zone object        TimeZone timezone            = TimeZone                  .getTimeZone(                      "Asia/India");          // Getting a display name for the specified locale        String display_name            = timezone                  .getDisplayName(true, 1);          // Display name        System.out.println("The Display name"                           + " for the locale is: "                           + display_name);    }} |
