localtime() is returning GMT time instead of local time

[Cacau]

Hi,

I have code that calls localtime() on android. On Android , it returns the gmt time instead of local. The exactly same code returns the localtime on Linux or CYGWIN.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

You might want to post code.  Be sure that you are actually printing unconverted time.  You can sometimes have GMT time, but have it translated to the local timezone when printing because the timezone wasn't configured to be GMT for the formatter.

I found Java / Android date parsing to be lacking here too.  Some standard ISO and IETF time formats, which in some cases can validly have 'Z' for a time zone, are not directly parseable without editing the string (like "z"->"+000").

Good Idea.

I created a simple little program to test. You know what? it stopped hapenning! So the problem is mine. I will investigate further. I suspect it might have something to do with the fact that I am running my program as a daemon. I will investigate further.

Thanks!

Bingo! When I run my program from the command prompt, I get localtime. When I run as a daemon, I get GMT
