Time zone manipulation problem
Hi!
I want to manipulate date with respect to some customized formats. I'm done successfully but the only problem is in Time Zone representation and manipulation. I want to show time zone information like GMT+01:00 or 揅EST/CST?but it is showing like 揅entral European Time?
The Sample Code
===============
public String selectDateType(java.util.Calendar a_objDateTime, String a_strDateType){
m_strDate = a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.DATE) < 10 ?"0"+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.DATE) :""+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.DATE);
m_strMonth = (a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1) < 10 ?"0"+(a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1) :""+(a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1);
m_strYear =""+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.YEAR);
m_strHour = a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) < 10 ?"0"+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) :""+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
m_strMinute = a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE) < 10 ?"0"+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE) :""+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
m_strSecond = a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.SECOND) < 10 ?"0"+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.SECOND) :""+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.SECOND);
if(a_strDateType.equalsIgnoreCase("SHORT")){
m_strDateTime = m_strDate+"/"+m_strMonth+"/"+m_strYear;
System.out.println("JAVA CALENDAR >> SHORT DATE..: " + m_strDateTime);
}
elseif(a_strDateType.equalsIgnoreCase("FULL")){
Date now = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.FULL);
m_strDateTime = df.format(now) +" "+m_strHour+":"+m_strMinute+
":"+m_strSecond +" "+TimeZone.getDefault().getDisplayName();
System.out.println("JAVA CALENDAR >> FULL DATE..: " + m_strDateTime);
}
elseif(a_strDateType.equalsIgnoreCase("US")){
m_strDateTime = m_strMonth+"/"+m_strDate+"/"+m_strYear+" "+
m_strHour+":"+m_strMinute+":"+m_strSecond +" "+
TimeZone.getDefault().getDisplayName();
System.out.println("JAVA CALENDAR >> US DATE..: " + m_strDateTime);
}
elseif(a_strDateType.equalsIgnoreCase("EU")){
m_strDateTime = m_strDate+"/"+m_strMonth+"/"+m_strYear+" "+
m_strHour+":"+m_strMinute+":"+m_strSecond +" "+
TimeZone.getDefault().getDisplayName();
System.out.println("JAVA CALENDAR >> EU DATE..: " + m_strDateTime);
}
else{
Date now = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.FULL);
m_strDateTime = df.format(now) +" "+m_strHour+":"+m_strMinute+
":"+m_strSecond +" "+TimeZone.getDefault().getDisplayName();
System.out.println("JAVA CALENDAR >> FULL DATE..: " + m_strDateTime);
}
return m_strDateTime;
}
The Sample Output
================
JAVA CALENDAR >> FULL DATE..: Thursday, May 17, 2007 14:02:59 Central European Time
JAVA CALENDAR >> SHORT DATE..: 17/05/2007
JAVA CALENDAR >> EU DATE..: 17/05/2007 14:02:59 Central European Time
JAVA CALENDAR >> US DATE..: 05/17/2007 14:02:59 Central European Time
JAVA CALENDAR >> FULL DATE..: Thursday, May 17, 2007 14:02:59 Central European Time
