Ps. Here's the code:
MapString, Integer timeZoneOffsetMap = new HashMapString, Integer
();
{
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(CZ,+1); // Czech Republic
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(AT,+1); // Austria
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(BE,+1); // Belgium
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(CH,+1); // Switzerland
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(DE,+1); // Germany
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(LI,+1); // Liechtenstein
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(LU,+1); // Luxembourg
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(AU,+11); // Australia
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(BE,+1); // Belgium
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(BW,+2); // Botswana
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(BZ,-6); // Belize
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(CA,-6); // Canada
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(GB,+0); // United Kingdom
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(HK,+8); // Hong Kong SAR China
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(IE,+0); // Ireland
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(IN,+6); // India
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(JM,-5); // Jamaica
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(MH,+12); // Marshall Islands
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(MT,+1); // Malta
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(NA,+1); // Namibia

timeZoneOffsetMap.put(VI,-4); // U.S. Virgin Islands
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(ZA,+2); // South Africa
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(FR,+1); // France
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(BE,+1); // Belgium
timeZoneOffsetMap.put(NL,+1); // Netherlands
}
String country = context.getResources().getConfiguration
().locale.getCountry().toUpperCase();
int timeZoneOffset_hours = 0;
if(timeZoneOffsetMap.containsKey(country)) {
timeZoneOffset_hours= timeZoneOffsetMap.get(country);
}
int timeZoneOffset_millisec = timeZoneOffset_hours * 60 * 60 * 1000
long now = System.currentTimeMillis() + timeZoneOffset_millisec;

Hi,
I can't figure out how to get the local time zone...
TimeZone.getDefault() returns Pacific Time, while my phone's settings
show the time zone correctly set to EST.
Thanks

I found a pseudo-workaround that uses getResources().getConfiguration
().locale.getCountry() and looks up timezone by country code. For any
country that contains more than 1 time zone, this will only calculate
time for one of those timezones. Also, this doesn't handle daylight
