Calendar class
Hello,
Im developing an application and I need a PC and a mobile to synchronize based on the time. I instantiate a Calendar object and set in them both the actual date to: 20th of August 2006, 19 hours, 00 minutes, 00 seconds, 00 milliseconds, and when I get the time in milliseconds throug Calendar.getTime().getTime() I got different numbers.
Does anyone knows why and how to solve it? I also set the timezone to "Europe/Paris" in them both but same results are thrown.
Thank you.
The calendar actually "runs".. That means that when you set a time, it will just keep on going from the moment you set it. I have no clue why that is, but it is very anoying! In my oppinion a Calendar should be fixed...
Im not completely sure that calendar objects "runs" once a date is fixed.
I have realized that once Ive set the same date and time on my j2sdk and my j2me applicattion, the number of millis in the latter one is 72000 -> 2 hours more. It doesnt matter the date I set that I always get this difference.
I know that I could just add these milliseconds when I get the time in my desktop applicattion, but I dont like at all that solution.
Any hint?

Well, If you are in west europe then two hours is exactly the difference to the UTC time at the moment (because of summertime).
