I need to get the mobile TimeZone comparing to GMT in Android. I only could see one function returns that but as String:
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
TimeZone tz = c.getTimeZone();
tz.getID();
This is the description of getID():
Returns the ID of this TimeZone, such as America/Los_Angeles, GMT-08:00 or UTC.
The problem is I need to get that as Integer like +3, -5…
You should be able to calculate the difference based on the TimeZone
getOffset()value, see http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/TimeZone.html#getOffset(long)
