How to get java Date with Daylight savings

[Santoshkumar Jeevan Pawar]

Hello,

If i apply daylight savings and e.g selects PST then java new Date() returns wrong time and date.

So how can i fix this issue and get date with applying daylight savings.

E.g. System.out.println( new Date()); gives me 03:19 AM but current time is 04:19.


Your help will be really appreciated.


Thank You.

You should be using java calender API, where you can set time zone you want with day light saving. When you print Date it takes default time zone of JVM and print date accordingly.

Try this code:

		Calendar pstCal = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone
				.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles"));

		SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(
				"EEEE yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss aa zz : zzzzzz");

		sdf.setCalendar(pstCal);
		String dateString = sdf.format(pstCal.getTime());
		System.out.println(dateString);

Hello,

Thanks for your efforts.

Here is solution,

GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar();
TimeZone tz = gc.getTimeZone();
gc.add(GregorianCalendar.MILLISECOND, +tz.getDSTSavings());
System.out.println(gc.getTime());


Thank You.
