Answer 1

If you have a date-time that represents a value in a specific time zone but the zone is not encoded in the date-time string itself (eg, "2020-01-29T09:14:32.000Z") and you need to display this in the time zone you have (eg, CDT)

val parsed = ZonedDateTime.parse("2020-01-29T09:14:32.000Z", DateTimeFormatter.ISO_DATE_TIME).withZoneSameInstant(ZoneId.of("CDT"))

That parsed ZoneDateTime will reflect the time zone given. For example, this date would be something like 28 Jan 2020 at 8:32am.
