Calendar/Date set to local time MIDP/CLDC

I've been playing around with the phone emulator and the Date and Calendar class. I noticed the time is always "UTC".
My question is, will actual devices ALWAYS (e.g. the standard says) know their time zone? I've read the literature, and it seems to imply "NO", but I'm looking for a definitive answer.

I also played aroung with Date, Calenadar und Timezone. I found out, that Date operates in GMT. Only Timezone that is requiered for mobiles to be implemented is GMT. Others may be present but do not have to, so as a serious developer, you need to work with GMT.
I found out that there seems to be a problem with the correct dls time correction in GMT; it simply doesn't work right. I think this is because internally Java is working with UTC which does not work with dst and obvisouly they forgot to build in a correction that for.
For your specific question i would say "no" too. Keep in mind, that even if J2ME is a standard the implementation on a special device is highly proprietary, so there is almost nothing you can get a definitive answer for... :-(

IPhone calendar appointments set to local calendar, and need to switch to exchange calendar. Have to edit each appointment one at a time and change to exchange calendar. Is there any method to edit all appoints in my calendar at once?

Not sure this will work but if you go into the Keyboard preferences, then click the Keyboad Shortcuts tab, and then the '+', you can add your own shortcuts for any application. I am not sure what happens if you try to override an existing shortcut since I haven't tried using this.
Edit/Update:
Probably against my better judgement I'll also throw this out there - there's an Unsanity haxie called Menumaster which might also allow you to do what you want. Against my better judgement because personally I stay clear of haxies. It's (all haxies) probably almost certain to break in Lion. They always do with each major release.

How to change timezone in B2B to reflect date fields per local time in DB

Hi,
I am in EST zone and I could see the data in database with date columns having time in PST. One of my transaction just errorred , I could see from B2B user interface tool error report message date time as 2:14 EST, while when I check the database values from TOAD the value is 11:14, which indicates there is some setup which might have caused to update Pacific Time in the database, I am not sure what could be the setup. Can anyone please indicate or provide inputs on what could be the cause and how to set up the application so that the date type data is updated with local time in database.
Thanks
Sachin Sutar

Hi Sachin,
We store the message using the database time. It seems like the database time zone is set to PST. To change it to a different time zone, please follow the instructions on this link:

Can I get my calendar to deal in local time, ignoring time zones?

Can I tell my calendar to not change event times when I travel? I can tell Time Zone Support to use either my home time zone when on or my destination time zone when off, but I want to be able to enter and see local times when I am in either place. For example, if my home is LA and I have 1:00 pm meeting in NY, I don't want to have to enter it as being at 10:00 am before I leave!
If there is no way to do this, how can I contact Apple to ask them to give me this option?

Check Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Time Zone Support
"Time Zone Support always shows event dates and times in the time zone selected for calendars.
When off, events will display according to the time zone of your current location."

List Builder only shows 1 data set at a time

Am attempting to get a list builder to display multiple data sets but am hitting a wall. When a 1st data set is selected then all OK. Add 2nd data set and update list and only 1st is shown. Remove 1st and update and data is refreshed to 2nd list. Add 3rd and repeats itself and so on. Looks like all OK based on the sample but built from scratch and think missing something simple in the destination range (although appears fine). thoughts?

Can you describe this in more detail?
How are your datasets defined in your excel model and how are your target cells formatted?
How are you trying to display the two resultsets in list builder in the first place? The cell range has to be contiguous for list builder to work.

Conversion from Date to say Locale time

Hello All,
I receive a date in xml file as a string. eg 01/27/2004 . I have to convert it to Locale format(2005-01-10T12:30-04:10) using XSL. Is it possible ?. If yes how to do that ?.
Thanks and regards,
Sachin

Hello All,
I am very sorry for framing the question wrongly. Actually I have recieved the date and time from xml which I will concat and store it in <xsl:variable>. Now I want to do processing on the variable using Java. Is it possble to do so ?. Means can I call some java function and pass the variable to the function do the processing on the variable and return the output and save that output in some variable which can be displayed.
Thanks in advance.
Waiting for reply.

Calendar data for new locales

We're developing an aplication on JDK 6. This application needs to support Spanish and Basque. Spanish is not a problem as "es" is a supported locale for the JDK but Basque "eu" is not supported. We've used the new SPI API for defining the Date and Currency Symbols for the eu locale, this works fine.
Our problem arises when we use the GregorianCalendar class for the "eu" locale. When we retrieve the first day of the week the method returns 1 (sunday) but in our locale it should be 2 (monday). It seems that when the locale is not known for the JDK it returns the default value (English, I supose).
Does anyone know how to define the CalendarData for the "eu" locale? or at least, change the default value for getFirstDayOfWeek method?
Thanks in advance,
Juanjo

You may have a look at the java.text.spi and java.util.spi packages.
With these packages you can define your own provider classes, based, for instance, on the ICU4J classes. These classes will be used throughout your JVM, so by third party software as well.
I remember having done this once as an experiment. I don't quite remember how to activate it, but I found my source code. Just as an example here how to make use of the com.ibm.icu.text.DateFormatSymbols
The provider class:
package org.pbjar.icu4j;
import java.text.spi.DateFormatSymbolsProvider;
import java.util.Locale;
import org.pbjar.icu4j.wrap.DateFormatSymbolsWrapper;
import com.ibm.icu.text.DateFormatSymbols;
* Wraps com.ibm.icu.text.DateFormatSymbols.
* @author Piet Blok
public class ICU4JDateFormatSymbolsProvider extends DateFormatSymbolsProvider {
    public ICU4JDateFormatSymbolsProvider() {
    @Override
    public Locale[] getAvailableLocales() {
        return ICU4JLocales.getAvailableLocales();
    @Override
    public java.text.DateFormatSymbols getInstance(Locale locale) {
        return new DateFormatSymbolsWrapper(new DateFormatSymbols(locale));
}And here the wrapper class:
package org.pbjar.icu4j.wrap;
import com.ibm.icu.text.DateFormatSymbols;
* Wrapper for com.ibm.icu.text.DateFormatSymbols.
* @author Piet Blok
public class DateFormatSymbolsWrapper extends java.text.DateFormatSymbols {

        return (obj instanceof DateFormatSymbolsWrapper ? symbols
                .equals((DateFormatSymbolsWrapper) obj) : false);
    @Override
    public String[] getAmPmStrings() {

How to Set Automatic Default Time in Calendar

Converting UTC dates to local time

Hello all. I have some data I imported that has a date column containing dates spanning a number of years. The dates are in the UTC timezone.
I need to display the dates in the local time zone that was in effect at the time. I've seen many fine examples of converting from one time zone to another. But I need it to be smarter than that. For example, date/times (this year) prior to 03/09/2008 2AM should display in EST (my zone in effect then), while date/times on/after then should display in EDT.
Are there any Oracle built-in functions to do this, or will I need to gather the data of when daylight savings time begins/ends for the years I have dates and write my own function? I don't need help for the latter; I just don't want to reinvent the wheel. Also, I don't want to convert the data; I append to it regularly.
Thanks for your help and consideration.

Sergiusz, thanks again. When I added a very recent date, I saw the effect. But perhaps something is wrong with my local 10gR1 "play" database. It seems the DST start point is not correct. Should it not start showing -4 offset at row# 4? I didn't see a change until I added the last date. But I believe DST began on 3/9/2008 at 2am local, which is 7am UTC.

Spry data set not displaying in IE8

Hi,
I have inserted a spry data set based on an HTML table onto my page. The data displays in live view and in Safari, but when I try to preview in IE8 I get nothing. Here's the page:
http://www.emiliocorsetti.com/publish/maps.html
Any ideas? I didn't modify the CSS one iota.

Ben,
Not sure what happened there. I was changing and deleting the spry data set so many times that I must have put the file up after I had deleted it. In any case, I put the correct file up. And a funny thing happened. The page works online but it won't work in browser preview. Any ideas?

Is PGI date beased on system date or user profile time zone date?

Hi All,
When doing PGI what date system will take as Actual good issue date ? whether the System Date or User local Time zone date which maintained in User profile. If you have any idea on this please share.
Regards,
Lakshmikanth

Hi,
You need to check with the basis team for settings this to your local time.
You can also check the field Personal time zone of the user in t.code SU01. I am not sure this will update the timings in the database when the user performs some action.

How do you set a calendar alarm for a specific time on the day of the event without it being an all-day event

Does anyone know how to set a calendar alert at a specific time on the day of the event.
So that the alert date adjusts accordingly if you were to copy and past it to another date.
The custom alert function kind of does this, but because it is an absolute alert (not relative) it will still refer to the date you initially set it to when you copy and paste it to another date. So this creates more work where you would have to go and manually change all the custom alerts. I have potential
Anyone know how to set this kind of calendar alert?
Thanks in advance

Greetings: Set the alarm to message you (on your screen) and then snooze it every day for 15 days, or, set 15 separate alarm messages. There is probably an AppleScript somewhere on the web too, try searching that way as well.

HELP - How to Convert Date in GMT to Local time in Applet

Hi All
Is there a way to convert a date from GMT format into a local time say IST in my Java applet, this GMT date is coming from a postgresql database.
Thanks in advance
Swaraj

Try this with your customization:
java.text.SimpleDateFormat format0 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
java.text.SimpleDateFormat format1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
java.util.Calendar cal0 = Calendar.getInstance(new SimpleTimeZone(0, "GMT"));
java.util.Calendar cal1 = Calendar.getInstance(new SimpleTimeZone((int)(5.5*60*60*1000), "IST"));
format0.setCalendar(cal0);
format1.setCalendar(cal1);
java.util.Date date = format0.parse("2003-01-25 00:15:30");
java.lang.String formatted = format1.format(date);
System.out.println(formatted);

Convert Data time stamp to Local Time

Hello,
I want to convert this input to local time EST.
Input:12/8/2006 10:23:00.000000000 PM -06:00
o/p: EST.Local Time

Is the input a string? A timestamp? If so, which flavor of timestamp? Something else?
Normally, you'd want to use a TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE data type for this sort of requirement, since it automatically converts data to the client's time zone. Assuming the input is a string and that the client's time zone is set to EST

My calendar date is not automatically changing, what's the proper setting?

My calendar date is not automatically changing, what's the proper setting?

If the population of the ObservableList (independent of any UI considerations takes a long time, then you probably want to do the populations off the JavaFX application thread (e.g. via a javafx.concurrent.Task)).
If you do populate the list in a Task, standard threading cautions apply in terms of not updating items in the scene graph off the JavaFX application thread and ensuring that the system is absent of race conditions, etc.
Look over the documentation of http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/api/javafx/scene/control/Cell.html and that may help you.
The JavaFX controls such as ListView have been carefully designed to exhibit high performance even when backed by extremely large lists (through the concept of virtualization explained in the Cell documentation). For example, if the backing list is updated but the portion of the list being updated is not within the currently displayed list contents, (I would hope) the update would be very efficient.
