TimeZone
abstract class TimeZone : Serializable, Cloneable, Freezable<TimeZone!>
| kotlin.Any | |
| ↳ | android.icu.util.TimeZone |
[icu enhancement] ICU's replacement for java.util.TimeZone. Methods, fields, and other functionality specific to ICU are labeled '[icu]'.
TimeZone represents a time zone offset, and also computes daylight savings.
Typically, you get a TimeZone using getDefault() which creates a TimeZone based on the time zone where the program is running. For example, for a program running in Japan, getDefault creates a TimeZone object based on Japanese Standard Time.
You can also get a TimeZone using getTimeZone(java.lang.String) along with a time zone ID. For instance, the time zone ID for the U.S. Pacific Time zone is "America/Los_Angeles". So, you can get a U.S. Pacific Time TimeZone object with:
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles");
You can use the getAvailableIDs() method to iterate through all the supported time zone IDs, or getCanonicalID method to check if a time zone ID is supported or not. You can then choose a supported ID to get a TimeZone. If the time zone you want is not represented by one of the supported IDs, then you can create a custom time zone ID with the following syntax:
GMT[+|-]hh[[:]mm]For example, you might specify GMT+14:00 as a custom time zone ID. The
TimeZone that is returned when you specify a custom time zone ID uses the specified offset from GMT(=UTC) and does not observe daylight saving time. For example, you might specify GMT+14:00 as a custom time zone ID to create a TimeZone representing 14 hours ahead of GMT (with no daylight saving time). In addition, getCanonicalID can also be used to normalize a custom time zone ID.
For compatibility with JDK 1.1.x, some other three-letter time zone IDs (such as "PST", "CTT", "AST") are also supported. However, their use is deprecated because the same abbreviation is often used for multiple time zones (for example, "CST" could be U.S. "Central Standard Time" and "China Standard Time"), and the Java platform can then only recognize one of them.

Not all Windows time zones can be mapped to system time zones. When the input Windows time zone ID is unknown or unmappable to a system time zone, then this method returns null.
This implementation utilizes Zone-Tzid mapping data. The mapping data is updated time to time. To get the latest changes, please read the ICU user guide section Updating the Time Zone Data.

offsets |
IntArray!: output parameter to receive the raw offset, that is, the offset not including DST adjustments, in offsets[0], and the DST offset, that is, the offset to be added to rawOffset to obtain the total offset between local and GMT time, in offsets[1]. If DST is not in effect, the DST offset is zero; otherwise it is a positive value, typically one hour. |
getRawOffset
abstract fun getRawOffset(): Int
Gets unmodified offset, NOT modified in case of daylight savings. This is the offset to add to UTC to get local time.
| Return | |
|---|---|
Int |

getWindowsID
open static fun getWindowsID(id: String!): String!
[icu] Converts a system time zone ID to an equivalent Windows time zone ID. For example, Windows time zone ID "Pacific Standard Time" is returned for input "America/Los_Angeles".
There are system time zones that cannot be mapped to Windows zones. When the input system time zone ID is unknown or unmappable to a Windows time zone, then this method returns null.
This implementation utilizes Zone-Tzid mapping data. The mapping data is updated time to time. To get the latest changes, please read the ICU user guide section Updating the Time Zone Data.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
id |
String!: A system time zone ID |
| Return | |
|---|---|
String! |
A Windows time zone ID mapped from the input system time zone ID, or null when the input ID is unknown or unmappable. |

hasSameRules
open fun hasSameRules(other: TimeZone!): Boolean
Returns true if this zone has the same rule and offset as another zone. That is, if this zone differs only in ID, if at all. Returns false if the other zone is null.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
other |
TimeZone!: the TimeZone object to be compared with |
| Return | |
|---|---|
Boolean |
true if the other zone is not null and is the same as this one, with the possible exception of the ID |

|---|---|

a hash code value for this object. |
inDaylightTime
abstract fun inDaylightTime(date: Date!): Boolean
Queries if the given date is in daylight savings time in this time zone.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
date |
Date!: the given Date. |
| Return | |
|---|---|
Boolean |
true if the given date is in daylight savings time, false, otherwise. |
isFrozen
open fun isFrozen(): Boolean
Determines whether the object has been frozen or not.
observesDaylightTime
open fun observesDaylightTime(): Boolean
Queries if this time zone is in daylight saving time or will observe daylight saving time at any future time.
The default implementation in this class returns true if useDaylightTime() or inDaylightTime(new Date()) returns true.
Note: This method was added for java.util.TimeZone compatibility support. The java.util.TimeZone#useDaylightTime() method only checks the last known rule(s), therefore it may return false even the zone observes daylight saving time currently. java.util.TimeZone added observesDaylightTime() to resolve the issue. In ICU, useDaylightTime() works differently. The ICU implementation checks if the zone uses daylight saving time in the current calendar year. Therefore, it will never return false if daylight saving time is currently used.
ICU's TimeZone subclass implementations override this method to support the same behavior with java.util.TimeZone#observesDaylightTime(). Unlike useDaylightTime(), the implementation does not take past daylight saving time into account, so that this method may return false even when useDaylightTime() returns true.
| Return | |
|---|---|
Boolean |
true if this time zone is in daylight saving time or will observe daylight saving time at any future time. |

setID
open fun setID(ID: String!): Unit
Sets the time zone ID. This does not change any other data in the time zone object.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
ID |
String!: the new time zone ID. |
setRawOffset
abstract fun setRawOffset(offsetMillis: Int): Unit
Sets the base time zone offset to GMT. This is the offset to add to UTC to get local time.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
offsetMillis |
Int: the given base time zone offset to GMT. |
useDaylightTime
abstract fun useDaylightTime(): Boolean
Queries if this time zone uses daylight savings time.
| Return | |
|---|---|
Boolean |
true if this time zone uses daylight savings time, false, otherwise.
Note:The default implementation of ICU TimeZone uses the tz database, which supports historic rule changes, for system time zones. With the implementation, there are time zones that used daylight savings time in the past, but no longer used currently. For example, Asia/Tokyo has never used daylight savings time since 1951. Most clients would expect that this method to return |
Properties
GMT_ZONE
static val GMT_ZONE: TimeZone!
[icu] The immutable GMT (=UTC) time zone. Its ID is "Etc/GMT".
UNKNOWN_ZONE
static val UNKNOWN_ZONE: TimeZone!
[icu] The immutable (frozen) "unknown" time zone. It behaves like the GMT/UTC time zone but has the UNKNOWN_ZONE_ID = "Etc/Unknown". TimeZone#getTimeZone(String) returns a mutable clone of this time zone if the input ID is not recognized.
