For displaying in zone-Id - zone-Name - (GMT standard offset) format

  1. set to required time zone

  2. get required data from above object

TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Calcutta");

tz.getID()              // for zone-id
tz.getDisplayName()         // for zone-Name
tz.getOffset(TimeZone.getDefault().getID()) // for GMT standard offset

Simply use TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"). If you want to check if ID exists try using TimeZone.getAvailableIDs().
