Class TimeZone

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    SimpleTimeZone

    public abstract class TimeZone
    extends Object
    implements Serializable, Cloneable
    TimeZone represents a time zone offset, and also figures out daylight savings.

    Typically, you get a TimeZone using getDefault which creates a TimeZone based on the time zone where the program is running. For example, for a program running in Japan, getDefault creates a TimeZone object based on Japanese Standard Time.

    You can also get a TimeZone using getTimeZone along with a time zone ID. For instance, the time zone ID for the U.S. Pacific Time zone is "America/Los_Angeles". So, you can get a U.S. Pacific Time TimeZone object with:

     TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles");
     
    You can use the getAvailableIDs method to iterate through all the supported time zone IDs. You can then choose a supported ID to get a TimeZone. If the time zone you want is not represented by one of the supported IDs, then a custom time zone ID can be specified to produce a TimeZone. The syntax of a custom time zone ID is:
     CustomID:
             GMT Sign Hours : Minutes
             GMT Sign Hours Minutes
             GMT Sign Hours
     Sign: one of
             + -
     Hours:
             Digit
             Digit Digit
     Minutes:
             Digit Digit
     Digit: one of
             0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
     
    Hours must be between 0 to 23 and Minutes must be between 00 to 59. For example, "GMT+10" and "GMT+0010" mean ten hours and ten minutes ahead of GMT, respectively.

    The format is locale independent and digits must be taken from the Basic Latin block of the Unicode standard. No daylight saving time transition schedule can be specified with a custom time zone ID. If the specified string doesn't match the syntax, "GMT" is used.

    When creating a TimeZone, the specified custom time zone ID is normalized in the following syntax:

     NormalizedCustomID:
             GMT Sign TwoDigitHours : Minutes
     Sign: one of
             + -
     TwoDigitHours:
             Digit Digit
     Minutes:
             Digit Digit
     Digit: one of
             0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
     
    For example, TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT-8").getID() returns "GMT-08:00".

    Three-letter time zone IDs

    For compatibility with JDK 1.1.x, some other three-letter time zone IDs (such as "PST", "CTT", "AST") are also supported. However, their use is deprecated because the same abbreviation is often used for multiple time zones (for example, "CST" could be U.S. "Central Standard Time" and "China Standard Time"), and the Java platform can then only recognize one of them.

      • getOffset

        public int getOffset​(long date)
        Returns the offset of this time zone from UTC at the specified date. If Daylight Saving Time is in effect at the specified date, the offset value is adjusted with the amount of daylight saving.

        This method returns a historically correct offset value if an underlying TimeZone implementation subclass supports historical Daylight Saving Time schedule and GMT offset changes.

        Parameters:
        date - the date represented in milliseconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT
        Returns:
        the amount of time in milliseconds to add to UTC to get local time.

      • setRawOffset

        public abstract void setRawOffset​(int offsetMillis)
        Sets the base time zone offset to GMT. This is the offset to add to UTC to get local time.

        If an underlying TimeZone implementation subclass supports historical GMT offset changes, the specified GMT offset is set as the latest GMT offset and the difference from the known latest GMT offset value is used to adjust all historical GMT offset values.

        Parameters:
        offsetMillis - the given base time zone offset to GMT.
      • getRawOffset

        public abstract int getRawOffset()
        Returns the amount of time in milliseconds to add to UTC to get standard time in this time zone. Because this value is not affected by daylight saving time, it is called raw offset.

        If an underlying TimeZone implementation subclass supports historical GMT offset changes, the method returns the raw offset value of the current date. In Honolulu, for example, its raw offset changed from GMT-10:30 to GMT-10:00 in 1947, and this method always returns -36000000 milliseconds (i.e., -10 hours).

        Returns:
        the amount of raw offset time in milliseconds to add to UTC.

        Returns:
        the ID of this time zone.
      • setID

        public void setID​(String ID)
        Sets the time zone ID. This does not change any other data in the time zone object.
        Parameters:
        ID - the new time zone ID.
      • getDisplayName

        public final String getDisplayName​(Locale locale)
        Returns a long standard time name of this TimeZone suitable for presentation to the user in the specified locale.

        This method is equivalent to:

         getDisplayName(false, LONG, locale)
         
        Parameters:
        locale - the locale in which to supply the display name.
        Returns:
        the human-readable name of this time zone in the given locale.
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if locale is null.

                                     Locale locale)
        Returns a name in the specified style of this TimeZone suitable for presentation to the user in the specified locale. If the specified daylight is true, a Daylight Saving Time name is returned (even if this TimeZone doesn't observe Daylight Saving Time). Otherwise, a Standard Time name is returned.

        When looking up a time zone name, the default Localesearch path of ResourceBundle derived from the specified locale is used. (No fallback Locale search is performed.) If a time zone name in any Locale of the search path, including Locale.ROOT, is found, the name is returned. Otherwise, a string in the normalized custom ID format is returned.

        Parameters:
        daylight - true specifying a Daylight Saving Time name, or false specifying a Standard Time name
        style - either LONG or SHORT
        locale - the locale in which to supply the display name.

      • getDSTSavings

        public int getDSTSavings()
        Returns the amount of time to be added to local standard time to get local wall clock time.

        The default implementation returns 3600000 milliseconds (i.e., one hour) if a call to useDaylightTime() returns true. Otherwise, 0 (zero) is returned.

        If an underlying TimeZone implementation subclass supports historical and future Daylight Saving Time schedule changes, this method returns the amount of saving time of the last known Daylight Saving Time rule that can be a future prediction.

        If the amount of saving time at any given time stamp is required, construct a Calendar with this TimeZone and the time stamp, and call Calendar.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET).

        Returns:
        the amount of saving time in milliseconds

      • useDaylightTime

        public abstract boolean useDaylightTime()
        Queries if this TimeZone uses Daylight Saving Time.

        If an underlying TimeZone implementation subclass supports historical and future Daylight Saving Time schedule changes, this method refers to the last known Daylight Saving Time rule that can be a future prediction and may not be the same as the current rule. Consider calling observesDaylightTime() if the current rule should also be taken into account.

        Returns:
        true if this TimeZone uses Daylight Saving Time, false, otherwise.

        Returns true if this TimeZone is currently in Daylight Saving Time, or if a transition from Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time occurs at any future time.

        The default implementation returns true if useDaylightTime() or inDaylightTime(new Date()) returns true.

        Returns:
        true if this TimeZone is currently in Daylight Saving Time, or if a transition from Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time occurs at any future time; false otherwise.

        Parameters:
        ID - the ID for a TimeZone, either an abbreviation such as "PST", a full name such as "America/Los_Angeles", or a custom ID such as "GMT-8:00". Note that the support of abbreviations is for JDK 1.1.x compatibility only and full names should be used.
        Returns:
        the specified TimeZone, or the GMT zone if the given ID cannot be understood.
      • getTimeZone

        public static TimeZone getTimeZone​(ZoneId zoneId)
