Set the base time zone offset to GMT in Java


In order to set the base time zone to GMT in Java, we use the setRawOffset(int offsetMillis) method. The java.util.TimeZone.setRawOffset(int offsetMillis) method set the base timezone offset to GMT.

Declaration − The java.util.TimeZone.setRawOffset(int offsetMillis) method is declared as follows −

public abstract void setRawOffset(int offsetMillis)

where offsetMillis is the given base time zone offset to GMT.

Let us set the base timezone offset to GMT in Java −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.util.*;
public class Example {
   public static void main( String args[] ) {
      // creating default object of TimeZone
      TimeZone obj = TimeZone.getDefault();
      System.out.println("Default timezone object: 
" + obj);       // setting the raw offset       obj.setRawOffset(25000);       System.out.println("The value of the offset is :" + obj.getRawOffset());    } }

Output

Default timezone object: sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="Etc/UTC",offset=0,dstSavings=0,useDaylight=false,transitions=0,lastRule=null]
The value of the offset is :25000
