How do I get the time zone id from a time zone

I want the country name(time zone id) based on time zone like

america/new_york

My current code is

String time_zone = TimeZone.getDefault().getDisplayName(false, TimeZone.SHORT);

This returns GMT-05:00

The country is not part of the time zone data.

For instance, it's not reliably encoded in the ID, as in Africa/Abidjan or America/Cancun.

The only way you can do this is with an explicit lookup table mapping time zone id to country.
