i get the phone default time and trying to convert it to colombo time this is my code 

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();

        SimpleDateFormat currFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
                "EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy");

    currFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Colombo"));

        try {
            c.setTime(currFormat.parse(c.getTime().toString()));
        } catch (ParseException e1) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            Log.e("Time In Srvice", e1.getMessage());
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }

Code is working fine but time is not converting to the colombo time zone

  • Check with http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/TimeZone.html#getAvailableIDs() if Asia/Columbo is a valid zone – Stefan de Bruijn Aug 23 '13 at 07:43

What you want to achieve is not totally clear but it looks like all you need to do is to use the setTimeZone() method of the Calendar class instance itself, instead of going through this set/get.
