In my Android-application server will return a certain date UTCin the following format ( yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss) for 24 hours, and I need to convert this time in the TimeZone user, for example CST, IST.
I made the following code, but I know if this is correct or not, please help me make the correct time zone change.
I get UTC date as json string and convert to user timezone format and show Android side
private static Date utcDate;
private static DateFormat expireFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
try {
expireFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
utcDate = expireFormat.parse("2014-04-01 10:32:00");
System.out.println(TimeZone.getDefault().getID());
expireFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault().getID()));
System.out.println(expireFormat.format(utcDate));
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
output of the code:
Asia/Calcutta
2014-04-01 16:02:00
