Offset with GMT

Posted by fali on December 01, 2001 at 7:13 AM

Instantiate java.util.Date...convert it into msecs using getTime()fn .Then add whatever offset msecs u have got to this.

Eg
Date currentdate=new java.util.Date();
longdt=currentdate.getTime();
totalmsec=longdt+offsetmsec;

Date newDt = new Date();
newDt.setTime(totalmsec);

System.out.println("newDt " + newDt);

This will give u the date u reqd.
