I also recommend using Joda as mentioned before. Solving your problem using standard Java Date objects only can be done as follows: // **** YOUR CODE **** BEGIN **** long ts = System.currentTimeMillis(); Date localTime = new Date(ts); String format = “yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss”; SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(format); // Convert Local Time to UTC (Works … Read more
According to the docs, CFTimeZone (and by extension, NSTimeZone) uses time zone names, abbreviations, GMT offset, and DST information from the TZ (or “Olsen”) Database. Looking at the source, you’ll see that while semantically “GMT” and “UTC” are quite distinct, in practice they’re no different: “GMT” is just a zero offset timezone. Update: While this … Read more
DECLARE @UTC BIGINT SET @UTC = 1348203320997 SELECT DATEADD(MILLISECOND, @UTC % 1000, DATEADD(SECOND, @UTC / 1000, ‘19700101’))
The main issue is that you are passing the offset as a string instead of a number. moment.utc(“2015-10-01 01:24:21”).utcOffset(“-240”).format(‘YYYYMMDD HHmmss ZZ’) // “20151001 012421 +0000” moment.utc(“2015-10-01 01:24:21”).utcOffset(-240).format(‘YYYYMMDD HHmmss ZZ’) // “20150930 212421 -0400” When you have an offset in terms of minutes, then you must use the numeric form. You can always convert it: moment.utc(“2015-10-01 … Read more
I know I’m five years late, but I had the same problem tonight. In my experience, the solution to the problem was to use the aware UTC datetime: utc_dt_aware = datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc) If you google “utcnow() wrong” this is the first result you get, so I thought it would be good to answer anyway.
No need to remove the :’s. To handle the “00:00” style timezone, you just need “ZZZZ”: Swift let dateString = “2014-07-06T07:59:00Z” let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter() dateFormatter.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: “en_US_POSIX”) dateFormatter.dateFormat = “yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ssZZZZ” dateFormatter.dateFromString(dateString) Objective-C NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; dateFormat.locale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@”en_US_POSIX”]; NSString *input = @”2013-05-08T19:03:53+00:00″; [dateFormat setDateFormat:@”yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ssZZZZ”]; //iso 8601 format NSDate … Read more
It has a set timezone method: SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(“yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss”); simpleDateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(“UTC”)); Date myDate = simpleDateFormat.parse(rawQuestion.getString(“AskDateTime”)); all done!
I reported this bug on Microsoft Connect some time ago, but it’s been closed as won’t fix. You still have a problem in .NET 2.0 if you specify your absolute expiration in local time. During one hour at the end of daylight savings time, your local time is ambiguous, so you can get unexpected results, … Read more
In older browsers, you can write a function that will parse the string for you. This one creates a Date.fromISO method- if the browser can natively get the correct date from an ISO string, the native method is used. Some browsers got it partly right, but returned the wrong timezone, so just checking for NaN … Read more
