Android Question What is the best way to determine a users time zone? (b4a)

[RickV]

I am looking for some code to determine a users time zone without permissions required so I can pass back to a socket in a string.

Data is stored in my database in Australia and I need to the timezone of the client so I can determine what time it is in their country ant any given time in the server app to serve data based on their local time.

Thanks in advance

You can get the current offset with DateTime.TimeZoneOffset
Note that it can change. Due to location changes or to day light savings periods.

Is there an addition setting that returns if daylight savings is active or not?
Reason I ask, Brisbane Sydnwy Canberra and Melbourne are all +10 normally, however Brisbane does not have daylight savings. Will that reqyest return +10 for Brisbane and +11 for the other three ?
