Calendar (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2) – clear(int)

Steps

The key is the Calendar.clear(int) function. We can use it to tell the Calendar object that time zone info is not set, thus the info will not be printed out.

Calendar calNoTz = Calendar.getInstance();

calNoTz.clear(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET); // Clear the 'Zone offset' info
