Hi Maulin,
If you look at the
getTimeZone() method of the Calendar class
clearly you can see there is a way to get a TimeZone from a given Calendar.
The trick is to get an appropriate calendar instance using the
getInstance() method of Calendar, passing in a Locale.
Unfortunately that'll not help down to the city level. The above will only work for countries. SO why not try the likes of
Joda Time as suggested here
?
I hope this helps,
John
