Answer 1

I know its not exactly what you ask but you may also get the time from the network provider (the mobile phone network).

Have you tried

LocationManager locMan = (LocationManager) activity.getSystemService(activity.LOCATION_SERVICE);
long time = locMan.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER).getTime();

it returns the time in millis.

So you don’t need an internet connection or parsing JSON, XML …

Hope this helps somehow,
