timezone in android emulator

have tried to change the timezon in android-emulator but it doesn't work. I write the -timezone option in eclipse menu: Window - Preferences - Android - Launch - Default Emulator options:
-timezone Europe/Stockholm
I found the timezone info here. In stockholm we add one hour to the british time. If my computer clock is e.g. 22.19 I also want the time in the android emulator to be 22.19. But it always show 21.19. How shall I give the -timezone arg to the emulator from inside eclipse so it works. I use winXp and Eclipse 3.5. And I have always restarted the emulator after each change of timezone.

Yes it works fine! Firstly you have to shutdown you emulator. Then in the menu clic "RUN" and then Run Configurations...

On the left, please select "Android Application" -> [name of your application]

On the right, clic the "target" tab, then scroll down and look for the "Additional Emulator Command Line Option" textbox. In that box you can specify: -timezone [desired timezone]

Example: -timezone Europe/Stockholm // -timezone America/Argentina/Mendoza // etc...

emulator -timezone Europe/Stockholm

Should work (on Linux). No quotes needed. Try this is an adb shell:

# date
Thu Dec  2 00:04:02 CET 2010
# date -u
Wed Dec  1 23:04:05 GMT 2010
