Convert UTC date to current timezone

Question

I have to convert a UTC date in this format \"2016-09-25 17:26:12\" to the current time zone of Android. I did this:

SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new Simp         


        

Answer 1

it print GMT+02 because this is your "local" timezone. if you want to print the date without timezone information, use SimpleDateFormat to format the date to you liking.

edit : adding the code example (with your variable 'myDate')

SimpleDateFormat inputSDF = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
inputSDF.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
Date myDate = inputSDF.parse("2016-09-25 17:26:12");
//
SimpleDateFormat outputSDF = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
System.out.println(outputSDF.format(myDate));
System.out.println(TimeZone.getDefault().getID());

yield on the (my) console (with my local timezone).
