The zoneinfo database is published as a set of text files so just embed 
them.

See that? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_zoneinfo_timezones

You can create a db in sqlite and store all the info. Than you can use it
easy.

parsing that tz data is not trivial (you might have better luck w/the binary 
distribution). if you don't need the historical data, frequent updates  all 
those nifty comments you might simply use something like icu4j's tz classes 
which provides the same IDs, etc as well as allowing you fairly easy access to 
the tz rules.

Thanks Igor. I know that. That list is just the zone.tab file. What I 
need is to get a complete zoneinfo database (and can be updated to new 
data later when zoneinfo database update maybe every year) and convert 
into something that to be used directly in AIR applications. Especially 
I need not only zone information but also others such as daylight saving 
when application changing timezone runtime.

I actually create an open source project for this myself (silently) as I 
couldn't find anything really useful last weekend.

I don't know if you know the Joda, I've portted to actionscript 3.0 and in
it there's a very powerfull date/time api for java developers. I don't know
if I could to opensource the portation for now because there's a lot of
thing to test. But the kind of zoneinfo db is hard to keep in auto update
pilot, you have to write a server-side way to collect theses data and get to
AIR/Flex project.

Re: [flexcoders] Zoneinfo database to use for AIR applications.

2008-09-29 Thread George
Igor,

I had a look on that. But as Java JRE already included zoneinfo database 
support itself, I wonder if it helpful for me because what I'm doing is 
a standalone AIR application, without any server side and I need 
includes accurate zoneinfo data to support timezones runtime. Comparing 
to JRE, I think AIR runtime do not have robust zoneinfo support(might 
internal have but I'm not sure).

It's not necessary to keep auto update the database with my AIR 
application, I can include that updates in application updates online 
somewhere. The same like any unix system they have a still zoneinfo 
database, only update when they update system themselves.

Thanks,
George
