Class TimeZone
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Freezable<TimeZone>
,Serializable
,Cloneable
- Direct Known Subclasses:
BasicTimeZone
TimeZone
represents a time zone offset, and also computes 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(String)
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:
You can use theTimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles");
getAvailableIDs()
method to iterate through
all the supported time zone IDs, or getCanonicalID method to check
if a time zone ID is supported or not. 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 you can create a custom time zone ID with
the following syntax:
For example, you might specify GMT+14:00 as a custom time zone ID. TheGMT[+|-]hh[[:]mm]
TimeZone
that is returned
when you specify a custom time zone ID uses the specified
offset from GMT(=UTC) and does not observe daylight saving
time. For example, you might specify GMT+14:00 as a custom
time zone ID to create a TimeZone representing 14 hours ahead
of GMT (with no daylight saving time). In addition,
getCanonicalID
can also be used to
normalize a custom time zone ID.
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.
Note: Starting from ICU4J 4.0, you can optionally choose
JDK TimeZone
as the time zone implementation. The TimeZone factory
method getTimeZone
creates an instance of ICU's own TimeZone
subclass by default. If you want to use the JDK implementation always, you can
set the default time zone implementation type by the new method
setDefaultTimeZoneType
. Alternatively, you can change the initial
default implementation type by setting a property below.
# # The default TimeZone implementation type used by the ICU TimeZone # factory method. [ ICU | JDK ] # com.ibm.icu.util.TimeZone.DefaultTimeZoneType = ICU
This property is included in ICUConfig.properties in com.ibm.icu package. When the
TimeZone
class is loaded, the initialization code checks if the property
com.ibm.icu.util.TimeZone.DefaultTimeZoneType=xxx
is defined by the system
properties. If not available, then it loads ICUConfig.properties to get the default
time zone implementation type. The property setting is only used for the initial
default value and you can change the default type by calling
setDefaultTimeZoneType
at runtime.

-
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 always returns 3600000 milliseconds (i.e., one hour) if this time zone observes Daylight Saving Time. Otherwise, 0 (zero) is returned.
If an underlying TimeZone implementation subclass supports historical Daylight Saving Time changes, this method returns the known latest daylight saving value.
- Returns:
- the amount of saving time in milliseconds
-
useDaylightTime
public abstract boolean useDaylightTime()Queries if this time zone uses daylight savings time.- Returns:
- true if this time zone uses daylight savings time,
false, otherwise.
Note:The default implementation of ICU TimeZone uses the tz database, which supports historic rule changes, for system time zones. With the implementation, there are time zones that used daylight savings time in the past, but no longer used currently. For example, Asia/Tokyo has never used daylight savings time since 1951. Most clients would expect that this method to return
false
for such case. The default implementation of this method returnstrue
when the time zone uses daylight savings time in the current (Gregorian) calendar year.
-
observesDaylightTime
public boolean observesDaylightTime()Queries if this time zone is in daylight saving time or will observe daylight saving time at any future time.The default implementation in this class returns
true
ifuseDaylightTime()
orinDaylightTime(new Date())
returnstrue
.Note: This method was added for
TimeZone
compatibility support. TheTimeZone.useDaylightTime()
method only checks the last known rule(s), therefore it may return false even the zone observes daylight saving time currently.TimeZone
addedobservesDaylightTime()
to resolve the issue. In ICU,useDaylightTime()
works differently. The ICU implementation checks if the zone uses daylight saving time in the current calendar year. Therefore, it will never returnfalse
if daylight saving time is currently used.ICU's TimeZone subclass implementations override this method to support the same behavior with
TimeZone.observesDaylightTime()
. UnlikeuseDaylightTime()
, the implementation does not take past daylight saving time into account, so that this method may returnfalse
even whenuseDaylightTime()
returnstrue
.- Returns:
true
if this time zone is in daylight saving time or will observe daylight saving time at any future time.- See Also:
-

- the specified
TimeZone

-
