Java convert millisecond timestamp to date with respect to given timezone

Question

I have seen many resources on this but one thing I cant get is when converting the millisecond timestamp, how I add a corresponding time zone, during the conversion process.

Answer 1

I was doing a similar thing in my previous project.You can use setTimeZone method of SimpleDateFormat class. Something like this :

mydate.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT -0400"));
