I have a LocalTime variable and a separate DateTimeZone variable and want to
know what the corresponding local time will be in a different timezone. I read
the user guide for how to do this for a DateTime class (an instant), but it
seems like it should be a valid operation on a partial as well as long as the
old and new time zones are specified.
I guess one option is to convert my LocalTime to a DateTime using LocalTime's
toDateTimeToday() method:
http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/api-release/org/joda/time/LocalTime.html#toDateTimeToday(org.joda.time.DateTimeZone)
then performing the conversion as specified in the user guide:
// translate to London local time
DateTime dtLondon = dt.withZone(DateTimeZone.forID("Europe/London"));
And then converting back to a LocalTime using DateTime's toLocalTime() method:
http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/api-release/org/joda/time/DateTime.html#toLocalTime()
But this all seems convoluted. Doesn't seem like I should have to specify
arbitrary date fields just to get the time in a different timezone. Are there
any other ways to do this?
Thanks,
Ken
