I have tried to use the following method;
calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
to use a calendar using the default time zone, but it doesn't work. For example it give me the 5:00pm when
it should be 1:00pm. Can someone tell me what is the problem ?
calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(new Date());
// to convert the current date to an String
int year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR
int month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONT
int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DATE
date = (month<10? "0": "")+ month+"/"+(day<10? "0": "") + day + "/" + (year<10? "0": "")+year;
// to convert the current time to an String
String[] AMPM = {"AM", "PM"};
int hour = calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR
int minute = calendar.get(Calendar.MINU
String am_pm = (AMPM[calendar.get(Calenda
time = (hour + ":" + (minute<10? "0": "") + minute + am_pm);

hmm, do you have checked the time zone of the mobile on which you are running this midlet??
plz go n change the time-zone. u can change it through Settings of your phone.
run the same midlet and change the time zone each time and see wht result u get.
this will solve your problem for sure
and one thing more if it also doesn't work there is an option "Auto time Zone", try that too.

public void itemStateChanged(Item item) {
cal.setTime(((DateField)it
System.out.println("\nDate

// register for events
form.setItemStateListener(
// get today's date
java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date();
DateField dateItem = new DateField("Today's date:", DateField.DATE);
dateItem.setDate(now);
// add date to the Form screen
form.append(dateItem);
display.setCurrent(form);
}
}
