Set default time zone to use for an android application
android
Solution
TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+3"));
This sets the default timezone. Subsequent calls to `Calendar.getInstance()` always return as if the device was in that timezone.
Problem
I'm developing an application for android that has to list activities with its date and time. I would like to ignore the time zone of the device and show always the time in timezone +02:00. The application is for Spain, but If someone from UK that is in another time zone use the application I want that the time for activities appear in local spanish time. The date is in UTC format, using Calendar.getTime().toLocaleString(), the time appers in local time zone of device. I would like to know if the is a way to set a default time zone that has to use my application, and when I invoke Calendar.getTime().toLocaleString() method get the time always in local time zone +2 despite of the device timezone
