Get TimeZone name

[smitasuhas]

Hello

I am developing a J2ME application in which I require timezone.
Currently using calendar and TimeZone class I am able to get timezone value as GMT+5:30, but my requirement is String like "Delhi/Calcutta" or "Asia/Pacific" and not the GMT value.
Is there any way to get such value for TimeZone?

Thanks,
Smita.

No, I think there is no way to get this information.

Hi,
i have read out the TimeZone class but unfortunately not found any surprising result. I dont think so that it is possible to retrieve city name etc in j2me with the help of TimeZone atleast.



thanks,

Hi Smitasuhas,
Its not possible to get the string. I have faced with similar requirement. what i did was stored GMT with country mapping in the midlet. Only this way is possible. you can the details of this from www.timeanddate.com
