Display time zone with SimpleDateFormat(“z”) in Java
You can display timezone easily in Java using SimpleDateFormat(“z”).
Firstly, to work with SimpleDateFormat class in Java, import the following package −
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
Now, set the format with SimpleDateFormat(“z”) to display timezone −
Format f = new SimpleDateFormat(”z”);
Now, get the timezone in a string −
String strTimeZone = f.format(new Date());
The following is an example −
Example
import java.text.Format;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Calendar;
public class Demo {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// displaying current date and time
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MMMM/yyyy hh:mm:s z");
System.out.println("Today's date = "+simpleformat.format(cal.getTime()));
// displaying hour
Format f = new SimpleDateFormat("H");
String strHour = f.format(new Date());
System.out.println("Current Hour = "+strHour);
// displaying minutes
f = new SimpleDateFormat("mm");
String strMinute = f.format(new Date());
System.out.println("Current Minutes = "+strMinute);
// displaying seconds in two-digits
f = new SimpleDateFormat("ss");
String strSeconds = f.format(new Date());
System.out.println("Current Seconds = "+strSeconds);
f = new SimpleDateFormat("a");
String strMarker = f.format(new Date());
System.out.println("Current AM/PM Marker = "+strMarker);
// display timezone
f = new SimpleDateFormat("z");
String strTimeZone = f.format(new Date());
System.out.println("TimeZone = "+strTimeZone);
}
}Output
Today's date = 26/November/2018 08:11:21 UTC Current Hour = 8 Current Minutes = 11 Current Seconds = 21 Current AM/PM Marker = AM TimeZone = UTC
