TimeZone broken in SimpleDateFormat in android 2.3
Android 2.3 was recently released last night. So naturally I tried my app on it and found there was date formatting issue. I have noticed the DateFormatter produces different formats. So do this in a simple Java program: ((SimpleDateFormat)DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.LONG, DateFormat.LONG)).format(new Date()); Output is December 7, 2010 11:49:40 AM EST Do the same thing in an android emulator and you get December 7, 2010 11:42:50 AM GMT-05:00 Notice the different time zone. Has anybody ran in to this issue? Is there another formatter I can use that doesn't depend on Java's
