Question

This code gave me 09:40 (I am in Turkey) but my time is now 12:40
I looked through many pages for this, but I couldnt find any solution.
What should I do to fix it?

            String DATE_FORMAT_NOW = "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss"; 
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); 
    String timeZone = cal.getTimeZone().getDisplayName(); 
    System.out.println("timeZone is : " + timeZone ); 
        System.out.println("Current Time in MiliSeconds : " + cal.getTimeInMillis() ); 
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT_NOW); 
    String time=sdf.format(cal.getTime()); 
    System.out.println(time); 

Also why this code gave 08:27 when my time is 12:40

DateFormat formatterHourSecond = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");
String saatStr = formatterHourSecond.format(tarih);     
System.out.println("Saat : " + saatStr);

Answer 1

It looks like the TimeZone of your JVM is not correct. Try explicitly setting the TimeZone to Turkey in the SimpleDateFormat object, like this:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT_NOW);
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Turkey"));
String time=sdf.format(cal.getTime());
