Make use of getTimezoneOffs et(), toLocaleString( ), etc. to calculate it yourself.

I know you want a timezone name rather than a time. What I'm saying is that you'll have to calculate the name of the timezone using the time.

I have the similar issue:

I want to get the time zone name from JavaScript and use that in Java.
TimeZone tz =TimeZone.getTi meZone("timezonenamegot fromjavascript");
.

Thanks for your help.

Read the answer I gave earlier. You'll have to program it yourself based on the time zone offset.
