Hi i developing a application in android. i need to use the Los Angeles (USA) location current time, date. For that I used the below code 

        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();       
        TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles");
        calendar.setTimeZone(tz);
        String s=calendar.getTime().toString();

But it is giving the current location time and date. Please provide a code to get the time and date by providing particular location name like Los Angeles.

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();       
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm:ss z");
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles"));
System.out.println(sdf.format(calendar.getTime()));

FYI, a Date is nothing more than a specific instant in time .
