Hi String, Thanks for your reply. Since Alaska is in GMT-9:00, even doesn't include DST, getOffset(0) should return 32400000 (= 9*60*60*1000), right? I cannot understand why it returns 36000000 (=10*60*60*1000). If "36000000" is correct, that means Alaska is in GMT-10:00. -- Best Regards, TANG Jiyu Blog: http://jiyu.wordpress.com.cn/ ezkeypad: http://ezkeypad.tool100.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
