How to compare time with correct PDT?

Question

I want to compare the time as below, the two result time values are created by Calendar with setting timezone to "PST". When I compare the two times, the result is always wrong.

Log time: Tue Oct 06 17:21:17 PDT 1970, while action time: Mon Oct 06 17:49:47 PDT 2014

Code is like below:

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");
df.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("PST"));
s = newLine.substring(0, 17);
calendar.setTime(df.parse(s));

So...where are you getting this mystical value `s` from? What does it contain? — Makoto, Oct 07 '14 at 01:02
It doesn't have a year attached, so it'd kind of make sense that it would default back to the UNIX epoch. — Makoto, Oct 07 '14 at 01:03

I do not see any compare in your code snippet, thus can't really comment on the code. You should read this on stackoverflow,

<How to compare Calendar's time to java.sql.Time object?>Read This

See Lion (2nd response in the thread), it basically explains everything, or you can just read the Java docs.

this does not answer the question, and is more suitable as a comment. – Scary Wombat Oct 07 '14 at 01:07
