In joda time how to convert time zone without changing time

Question

I am getting UTC timestamp from database which is I am setting into a JodaTime DateTime instance

DateTime dt = new DateTime(timestamp.getTime())         


        

Answer 1

You can use class LocalDateTime

LocalDateTime dt = new LocalDateTime(t.getTime()); 

and convert LocalDateTime to DateTime

DateTime dt = new LocalDateTime(timestamp.getTime()).toDateTime(DateTimeZone.UTC);  

Joda DateTime treats any time in millis like "millis since 1970y in current time zone". So, when you create DateTime instance, it is created with current time zone.
