Hi,
I have a simple use case to convert a date from local to GMT and vice versa.
Here is the snippet of my code and its output.
/public static Date convertLocalToGMT(Date localDate)
{
DateTime dateTime = new DateTime(localDate);
System.out.println("Current Local Date :" + dateTime.toDate());
System.out.println("Current Local Date In Millis :" +
dateTime.toDate().getTime());
DateTime gmt =
dateTime.withZoneRetainFields(DateTimeZone.forID("Etc/GMT"));
System.out.println("GMT Date :" + gmt.toDate());
System.out.println("GMT Date In Millis :" + gmt.toDate().getTime());
DateTime gmt1 = dateTime.withZone(DateTimeZone.forID("Etc/GMT"));
System.out.println("GMT Date :" + gmt1.toDate());
System.out.println("GMT Date In Millis :" +
gmt1.toDate().getTime());
DateTime gmt2 = dateTime.toDateTime(DateTimeZone.forID("Etc/GMT"));
System.out.println("GMT Date :" + gmt2.toDate());
System.out.println("GMT Date In Millis :" +
gmt2.toDate().getTime());
/*
long dm = localDate.getTime();
System.out.println();
long gmtm = gmt.getMillis();
System.out.println();
*/
Date d = gmt.toDate();
System.out.println();
return d;
}
/
The output of this is as follows:
*Current Local Date :Fri Mar 30 11:26:10 PDT 2012
Current Local Date In Millis :1333131970483
GMT Date :Fri Mar 30 04:26:10 PDT 2012
GMT Date In Millis :1333106770483
GMT Date :Fri Mar 30 11:26:10 PDT 2012
GMT Date In Millis :1333131970483
GMT Date :Fri Mar 30 11:26:10 PDT 2012
GMT Date In Millis :1333131970483*
Here is my main method to invoke the api:
/ public static void main(String[] args)
{
convertLocalToGMT(new Date());
}
/
What I don't understand is why the conversion is not happening from local to
GMT.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Jeet
