Question

Android Programming

The following code int year = new Time().year;is returning value of year with default zone. So I am getting 1970 as the return value for year.

Whein I use the following constructor with field year String zone=new Time().timezone;
int year = new Time(zone).year;


I am getting the value for zone as ASIA/Calcutta but for year value I am still getting 1970 only. May I know why I am not getting the present year? Is there any other way to achieve the same?

Answer 1

Check timezoneID is Asia/Calcutta.If you are Asia/Calcutta timezone But if you are not and want to set just set Like TimeZone est = TimeZone.getTimeZone( "Asia/Calcutta" );
otherwise Use Below….

        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        String timezoneID = TimeZone.getDefault().getID();
        cal.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(timezoneID));
        int year=cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
        System.out.println(year);
