Android Format date with time zone

Question

I need to format the date into a specific string.

I used SimpleDateFormat class to format the date using the pattern \"yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:m

Answer 1

You can also use "ZZZZZ" instead of "Z" in your pattern (according to documentation). Something like this

    Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZZZZZ", Locale.ENGLISH);      
    Log.e(C.TAG, "formatted string: "+sdf.format(c.getTime()));
