The Java SimpleTimeZone observesDaylightTime(Date date) method is used to query if the given date observes daylight saving time.
DeclarationFollowing is the declaration for java.util.SimpleTimeZone.observesDaylightTime() method.
public boolean observesDaylightTime(Date date)Parameters
date − This is the given Date.
Return ValueThe method call returns true if this SimpleTimeZone observes Daylight Saving Time; false otherwise.
ExceptionNA
Checking a SimpleTimeZone of GMT Timezone If Observes Daylight Saving TimeThe following example shows the usage of Java SimpleTimeZone observesDaylightTime(Date) method to check if a given date observes daylight saving time. We've created a SimpleTimeZone using GMT and a date using Date object with current time. Then we've checked date if it observes daylight savings using observesDaylightTime() ethod and printed the status.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.time.Instant; import java.util.Date; import java.util.SimpleTimeZone; public class SimpleTimeZoneDemo { public static void main( String args[] ) { // create simple time zone object SimpleTimeZone stobj1 = new SimpleTimeZone(820,"GMT"); // create date Date date = Date.from(Instant.now()); // check day light boolean daylight = stobj1.observesDaylightTime(date); // checking the value of day light System.out.println("Is in day light : " + daylight); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.
Is in day light : falseChecking a SimpleTimeZone of US Timezone If Observes Daylight Saving Time
The following example shows the usage of Java SimpleTimeZone observesDaylightTime(Date) method to check if a given date observes daylight saving time. We've created a SimpleTimeZone using US and a date using Date object with current time. Then we've checked date if it observes daylight savings using observesDaylightTime() ethod and printed the status.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.time.Instant; import java.util.Date; import java.util.SimpleTimeZone; public class SimpleTimeZoneDemo { public static void main( String args[] ) { // create simple time zone object SimpleTimeZone stobj1 = new SimpleTimeZone(820,"US"); // create date Date date = Date.from(Instant.now()); // check day light boolean daylight = stobj1.observesDaylightTime(date); // checking the value of day light System.out.println("Is in day light : " + daylight); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.
Is in day light : falseChecking a SimpleTimeZone of BST Timezone If Observes Daylight Saving Time
The following example shows the usage of Java SimpleTimeZone observesDaylightTime(Date) method to check if a given date observes daylight saving time. We've created a SimpleTimeZone using BST and a date using Date object with current time. Then we've checked date if it observes daylight savings using observesDaylightTime() ethod and printed the status.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.time.Instant; import java.util.Date; import java.util.SimpleTimeZone; public class SimpleTimeZoneDemo { public static void main( String args[] ) { // create simple time zone object SimpleTimeZone stobj1 = new SimpleTimeZone(820,"BST"); // create date Date date = Date.from(Instant.now()); // check day light boolean daylight = stobj1.observesDaylightTime(date); // checking the value of day light System.out.println("Is in day light : " + daylight); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.
Is in day light : false
