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]
