java - Why isn't this timezone being set correctly? -

given next (android) code:

calendar cal = calendar.getinstance(); system.out.println(cal.gettimezone().tostring()); cal.settimezone(timezone.gettimezone("america/new york")); system.out.println(cal.gettimezone().tostring());

i next output:

sun.util.calendar.zoneinfo[id="europe/london",offset=0,dstsavings=3600000,usedaylight=true,transitions=242,lastrule=java.util.simpletimezone[id=europe/london,offset=0,dstsavings=3600000,usedaylight=true,startyear=0,startmode=2,startmonth=2,startday=-1,startdayofweek=1,starttime=3600000,starttimemode=2,endmode=2,endmonth=9,endday=-1,enddayofweek=1,endtime=3600000,endtimemode=2]] sun.util.calendar.zoneinfo[id="gmt",offset=0,dstsavings=0,usedaylight=false,transitions=0,lastrule=null]

why isn't america\new york timezone beingness set?

try this: cal.settimezone(timezone.gettimezone("america/new_york")); not sure yet think wrong timezone id might problem.
