  1. I want to set my calender timezone to paris by default but calender takes my pc time.

  2. I want to convert currentDate to TimeStamp.

    How can i do that. here is my workings.

    //GET UNIX TIME

             SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
         formatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+2"));
         String currTime = String.valueOf(c.getTime());
         Date requestDate = formatter.parse(currTime);
         Calendar requestDateCal = formatter.getCalendar();
         requestDateCal.setTime(requestDate);

         String currentTime=String.valueOf(requestDateCal.getTimeInMillis());

         System.out.println("date : "+ currentTime);

First the timestamp is the same for all the time zones, and if you want to print your calendar in other timezone just do this:

    formatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe/Paris"));
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    System.out.println("date : " + formatter.format(cal.getTime()));

and to get the calendar time zone do this:

    cal.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe/Paris"));

Thanks
