Class TimeZone

java.lang.Object
  com.google.gwt.i18n.client.TimeZone

All Implemented Interfaces:: TimeZone

public class TimeZone
extends java.lang.Object
implements TimeZone
extends java.lang.Object
implements TimeZone

The TimeZone class implements a time zone information source for client applications. The time zone object is instantiated from a TimeZoneData object, which is made from a JSON string that contains all the data needed for the specified time zone. Applications can instantiate a time zone statically, in which case the data could be retrieved from the TimeZoneConstants class. Applications can also choose to instantiate from a string obtained from a server. The time zone string contains locale specific data. If the application only uses a short representation, the English data will usually satisfy the user's need. In the case that only the time zone offset is known, there is a decent fallback that only uses the time zone offset to create a TimeZone object.

Method Summary
`static TimeZone`	`createTimeZone(int timeZoneOffsetInMinutes)` This factory method provides a decent fallback to create a time zone object just based on a given time zone offset.
`static TimeZone`	`createTimeZone(java.lang.String tzJSON)` This factory method creates a time zone instance from a JSON string that contains the time zone information for desired time zone.
`static TimeZone`	`createTimeZone(TimeZoneInfo timezoneData)`
`int`	`getDaylightAdjustment(java.util.Date date)` Returns the daylight savings time adjustment, in minutes, for the given date.
`java.lang.String`	`getGMTString(java.util.Date date)` Returns the GMT representation of this time zone object.
`java.lang.String`	`getID()` Returns time zone id for this time zone.
`java.lang.String`	`getISOTimeZoneString(java.util.Date date)` To get ISO-style (+00:00) representation of the time zone for given date.
`java.lang.String`	`getLongName(java.util.Date date)` Returns the long version of the time zone name for the given date; the result of this method will be different if daylight savings time is in effect.
`int`	`getOffset(java.util.Date date)` Returns the RFC representation of the time zone name for the given date.
`java.lang.String`	`getRFCTimeZoneString(java.util.Date date)` To get RFC representation of certain time zone name for given date.
`java.lang.String`	`getShortName(java.util.Date date)` Returns the short time zone name for a given date.
`int`	`getStandardOffset()` Returns the standard time zone offset, in minutes.
`boolean`	`isDaylightTime(java.util.Date date)` Check whether the given date and time falls within a daylight savings time period.

Method Detail

createTimeZone

public static TimeZone createTimeZone(int timeZoneOffsetInMinutes)

This factory method provides a decent fallback to create a time zone object just based on a given time zone offset.

Parameters:: timeZoneOffsetInMinutes - time zone offset in minutes
Returns:: a new time zone object

createTimeZone

public static TimeZone createTimeZone(java.lang.String tzJSON)

This factory method creates a time zone instance from a JSON string that contains the time zone information for desired time zone. Applications can get such a string from the TimeZoneConstants class, or it can request the string from the server. Either way, the application obtains the original string from the data provided in the TimeZoneConstant.properties file, which was carefully prepared from CLDR and Olson time zone database.

Parameters:: tzJSON - JSON string that contains time zone data
Returns:: a new time zone object
