I am able to convert from my current timezone to another but not from a different timezone to

Answer 1

Depends on what you really mean by "converting".

It MAY be as simple as setting the time zone in the FORMATTER, and not mucking with Calendar at all.

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

TimeZone tzUTC = TimeZone.getTimeZone( "UTC" );
TimeZone tzPST = TimeZone.getTimeZone( "PST8PDT" );

DateFormat dtfmt = new SimpleDateFormat( "EEE, yyyy-MM-dd KK:mm a z" );

dtfmt.setTimeZone( tzUTC );
System.out.println( "UTC: " + dtfmt.format( cal.getTime() ));

dtfmt.setTimeZone( tzPST );
System.out.println( "PST: " + dtfmt.format( cal.getTime() ));
