TimeZones

The application implements Joda Time API to convert date and time from one time zone to another. Since I use Dubuque, Kathmandu and London times routinely, I also saw the need to create a separate Activity.







Current Time Code:

For London for example,


1
london.setText("\nLondon:\n" + joda("Europe/London"));

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
 /**
  * @param destTime: Time Zone identifier as defined by Joda API
  * @return Joda time String in selected format
  */
 public String joda(String destTime) {
  DateTime current = new DateTime();
  current = current.withZone(DateTimeZone.forID(destTime));
  return (DateTimeFormat.forPattern("HH:mm:ss\ndd MMM yyyy ZZ").print(current));
 }

Time Conversion Code:


1
2
3
4
DateTimeZone zone = DateTimeZone.forID(sourceTime);
DateTime dt = new DateTime(year, month, day, hour, minute, 0, zone);
dt = dt.withZone(DateTimeZone.forID(destTime));    
result.setText(DateTimeFormat.forPattern("HH:mm:ss\ndd/MM/yyyy\nZZ").print(dt));
