Parameters

offsetMillis − This is the given base time zone offset to GMT.

Return Value

NA

Exception

NA

Setting Raw Offset of Default Timezone Example

The following example shows the usage of Java TimeZone setRawOffset(int) method to set the base time zone offset to GMT of the current timezone object. We've created a TimeZone using getDefault() method and then set its rawOffset to 10000 using setRawOffset() method. Then using getRawOffset() method, we've verified the result.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.TimeZone;

public class TimeZoneDemo {
   public static void main( String args[] ) {

      // create time zone object 
      TimeZone tzone = TimeZone.getDefault();

      // set raw offset
      tzone.setRawOffset(10000);

      // checking offset value
      System.out.println("Offset value is :" +tzone.getRawOffset());
   }    
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.

Offset value is :10000

Setting Raw Offset of Timezone of America Region Example

The following example shows the usage of Java TimeZone setRawOffset(int) method to set the base time zone offset to GMT of the current timezone object. We've created a TimeZone using America/Los_Angeles and then set its rawOffset to 10000 using setRawOffset() method. Then using getRawOffset() method, we've verified the result.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.TimeZone;

public class TimeZoneDemo {
   public static void main( String args[] ) {

      // create time zone object 
      TimeZone tzone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles");

      // set raw offset
      tzone.setRawOffset(10000);

      // checking offset value
      System.out.println("Offset value is :" +tzone.getRawOffset());
   }    
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.

Offset value is :10000

Setting Raw Offset of Timezone of Poland Example

The following example shows the usage of Java TimeZone setRawOffset(int) method to set the base time zone offset to GMT of the current timezone object. We've created a TimeZone using Poland and then set its rawOffset to 10000 using setRawOffset() method. Then using getRawOffset() method, we've verified the result.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.TimeZone;

public class TimeZoneDemo {
   public static void main( String args[] ) {

      // create time zone object 
      TimeZone tzone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("Poland");

      // set raw offset
      tzone.setRawOffset(10000);

      // checking offset value
      System.out.println("Offset value is :" +tzone.getRawOffset());
   }    
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.

Offset value is :10000
