Method

voidaddDateFormatsToList(Locale locale, TimeZone timeZone, List formats)
add Date Formats To List 
for (int dateStyle = DateFormat.FULL; dateStyle <= DateFormat.SHORT; dateStyle++) {
    DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(dateStyle, locale);
    df.setTimeZone(timeZone);
    formats.add(df);
DateFormatcreateDateFormat(String format, TimeZone tz)
create Date Format 
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
sdf.setTimeZone(tz);
sdf.setDateFormatSymbols(new DateFormatSymbols(Locale.US));
return sdf;
DateFormatcreateDateFormat(String pattern, TimeZone timeZone)
create Date Format 
return createDateFormat(pattern, timeZone, false);
DateFormatcreateDateFormat(TimeZone timezone)
create Date Format 
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z", Locale.US);
sdf.setTimeZone(timezone);
return sdf;
DateFormat[]createDateFormatsForLocaleAndTimeZone(Locale locale, TimeZone timeZone)
Build an array of DateFormats that are commonly used for this locale and timezone. 
List<DateFormat> formats = new ArrayList<DateFormat>();
addDateTimeFormatsToList(locale, timeZone, formats);
addDateFormatsToList(locale, timeZone, formats);
return formats.toArray(new DateFormat[formats.size()]);
StringformatISO8601TimeZone(TimeZone timeZone, boolean extended)

Converts a TimeZone object to a string that's in ISO-8601 format. 

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
boolean positive = timeZone.getRawOffset() >= 0;
int hours = Math.abs(((timeZone.getRawOffset() / 1000) / 60) / 60);
int minutes = Math.abs((timeZone.getRawOffset() / 1000) / 60) % 60;
sb.append(positive ? '+' : '-');
if (hours < 10) {
    sb.append('0');
sb.append(hours);
if (extended) {
    sb.append(':');
if (minutes < 10) {
    sb.append('0');
sb.append(minutes);
return sb.toString();
StringformatOffset(TimeZone zone)
Produce a string describing the offset of the given time zone from UTC, including the DST offset if there is one. 
String fmt = "";
int base = zone.getRawOffset();
fmt += "UTC" + intervalMsToHmsShort(base);
int dst = zone.getDSTSavings();
if (dst != 0)
    fmt += " (UTC" + intervalMsToHmsShort(base + dst) + ")";
return fmt;
StringformatTimeZoneOffset(TimeZone timeZone)
Returns the formatted offset of the specified time zone at the current local time. 
int offsetSeconds = timeZone.getOffset(System.currentTimeMillis()) / 1000;
int offsetHours = Math.abs(offsetSeconds / 3600);
int offsetMinutes = (Math.abs(offsetSeconds) - (offsetHours * 3600)) / 60;
StringBuilder offset = new StringBuilder("UTC");
if (offsetSeconds >= 0) {
    offset.append('+');
} else {
    offset.append('-');
