TimeZone.getTimeZone（" CST"）返回GMT [英] TimeZone.getTimeZone("CST") returns GMT

问题描述

我正在将时间从CST转换为当地时间，但 getTimeZone 似乎无法正常工作。

I'm converting time from CST to local time but getTimeZone doesn't seem to work properly.

    String cstTime = "2013-06-21 14:00:00";

    SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
            "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
    simpleDateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("CST"));

    Date date = null;
    try {
        date = simpleDateFormat.parse(cstTime);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        System.out.println("Parse time error");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    TimeZone destTz = TimeZone.getDefault();//here I should get EDT on my phone
    simpleDateFormat.setTimeZone(destTz);
    String convertedLocalTime = simpleDateFormat.format(date);

    //the converted time I get is  "2013-06-21 10:00:00" 
    //but it should be             "2013-06-21 15:00:00" 

它似乎是使用GMT而不是CST，以下是我在调试时得到的：

It seems to be using GMT instead of CST and below is what I got when debugging:

String abc = TimeZone.getTimeZone("CST").toString();
System.out.println("CST:"+abc);
Output:
I/System.out(19404): CST:java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=GMT,offset=0,dstSavings=3600000,
useDaylight=fals‌​e,startYear=0,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,startDayOfWeek=0,
startTime=0,en‌​dMode=0,endMonth=0,endDay=0,endDayOfWeek=0,endTime=0]

是否使用GMT？为什么..
提前致谢！

Is it using GMT? why.. Thanks in advance!

编辑：

最后通过使用

simpleDateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone( "GMT-5")); //GMT-5 is for CDT, I found my server is actually using CDT not CST

仍然不要不知道为什么使用字符串CST无法工作...

Still don't know why using the string "CST" can't work...

推荐答案

来自javadoc for getTimeZone：

From the javadoc for getTimeZone:

Returns a TimeZone corresponding to the given id, or GMT for unknown ids. 

An ID can be an Olson name of the form Area/Location, such as America/Los_Angeles. 
The getAvailableIDs() method returns the supported names. 

尝试使用getAvailableIDs？

Try using getAvailableIDs?
