dateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));Example
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class ChangeTimeZon {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Date date = new Date();
System.out.println("Current Date Time : " + date);
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z");
// In below line we are mentioned to convert into UTC
dateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
String utcFormat = dateFormat.format(date);
System.out.println("After converting into UTC format: " + utcFormat);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Output
