Overview
DateField does not display time zone offset.
Description
DateField doesn’t use the time zone offset, but instead always displays the default time of the phone.
How to reproduce
Create a new time zone offset value with the following line:
TimeZone timezone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT-00:30");
The example uses minus 30 minutes as an offset value. Use the created offset values as a parameter in dateField constructor:
today = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
datefield = new DateField("title",DateField.DATE_TIME, timezone);
datefield.setDate(today);
Now the dateField should have the current date and current time +/- the selected offset value.
