hi,

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

formatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT-4"));

String timestamp = formatter.format(new Date());

System.out.println(timestamp);

in java, i used the following to code to set the timezone,

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"); formatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT-4"));

 String timestamp = formatter.format(new Date());

in blackberry, i followed the same way,

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

calendar.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT-4"));

SimpleDateFormat formatter1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

String timestamp1 = formatter1.format(calendar.getTime());

its not working in blackberry.

Please help me in setting the timezone in blackberry

You code is not the same is it.  BlackBerry formatter does not support setting a TimeZone. 

I believe you can do something like what you want using DateFormat, but I've never done it.  Search the forum, I remember seeing some other Thread which discussed this.

from your Calendar use a manual format, without formatter, like this:

String time = calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) + ":" +calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE) + ":" +calendar.get(Calendar.SECOND);

formatter will reset your timezone format to default x_x

I have not tried it, but Calendar supports a timezone:

and SimpleDateFormat supports Calendar:
