How to get time zone from offset-CodePudding

I am getting offset time like 180000 from API, but what I need is time zone like newYork/America ,how can I get time zone from offset , is there any method. Any help would be appreciated. I am calculating time from time Epoch like this

fun Int.currentConverter(): String {
    val time = SimpleDateFormat("d MMMM, hh:mm a", Locale.ENGLISH)
    return time.format(this * 1000L)
}

CodePudding user response：

Can you add timezone in your function and try once

 fun Date.currentConverter(): String {
    var localFormat="d MMMM, hh:mm a"
    val formatter = SimpleDateFormat(localFormat,, Locale.ENGLISH)
            formatter.timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/New_York")
          return formatter.format(this)
    }

Try this!

val calendar = Calendar.getInstance(
            TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"),
            Locale.getDefault()
        )
        val currentLocalTime = calendar.time
        val date: DateFormat = SimpleDateFormat("Z")
        val localTime: String = date.format(currentLocalTime)
