Just set the TimeZone on the DateFormat you use to format/parse it

Can you solve this please

TimeZone selected : GMT-1200
long Num = 1226505300156

long time = scan.getTimeinLong();

DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-DD-YYYY:hh:mm:ss", Locale.US); /// do i need Locale.US ????
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone(q.getTimezone()); // ex:GMT-1200
formatter.setTimeZone(tz);

>>/// do i need Locale.US ????

No. Not unless you need it for some reason
