The UTC time is the same everywhere at the same time.
The trick is to format the date-time for a time zone.
I use the following:
GregorianCalendar gcUK = new GregorianCalendar(Locale.UK);
TimeZone tzUK = TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe/London");
gcUK.setTimeZone(tzUK);
gcUK.setTime(new Date());
DateFormat dfUK =
SimpleDateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(SimpleDateFormat.MEDIUM,
SimpleDateFormat.MEDIUM, Locale.UK);
dfUK.setCalendar(gcUK);
String sDate = dfUK.format(dtDateTime);
Choose your own locale and time zone. Enjoy?
