The .getTimeZone() method in the Calendar class is used to return the current time-zone of a given calendar.

Syntax

time_zone = myCalendar.getTimeZone();
  • myCalendar is a Calendar class object for which the time zone is being retrieved.
  • time_zone is a TimeZone class object returned from the .getTimeZone() method.

Example

The following code demonstrates the use of the .getTimeZone() method.

import java.util.*;
public class Calendar_Demo {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Creating a calendar object
Calendar calndr = Calendar.getInstance();
// Getting the time zone of calendar
TimeZone time_zone = calndr.getTimeZone();
// Displaying the current time zone
System.out.println("The current Time zone is: "
+ time_zone.getDisplayName());
}
}

The above code will return an output similar to:

The current Time zone is: Coordinated Universal Time
