Example

The following example shows the usage of java.util.SimpleTimeZone.setStartYear()

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.*;

public class SimpleTimeZoneDemo {
   public static void main( String args[] ){
      // create simple time zone object
      SimpleTimeZone stobj = new SimpleTimeZone(820,"US");
       
      // checking initial value     
      System.out.println("Initial value: " + stobj);
      
      // setting start year   
      stobj.setStartYear(2008);   
      
      // checking the new value      
      System.out.println("Final value : " + stobj);
   }      
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.

Initial value: java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=US,offset=820,dstSavings=3600000,
useDaylight=false,startYear=0,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,
startDayOfWeek=0,startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=0,endMonth=0,
endDay=0,endDayOfWeek=0,endTime=0,endTimeMode=0]

Final value : java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=US,offset=820,dstSavings=3600000,
useDaylight=false,startYear=2008,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,
startDayOfWeek=0,startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=0,endMonth=0,
endDay=0,endDayOfWeek=0,endTime=0,endTimeMode=0]
