Attributes

Remarks

Returns the amount of time to be added to local standard time to get local wall clock time.

The default implementation returns 3600000 milliseconds (i.e., one hour) if a call to #useDaylightTime() returns true. Otherwise, 0 (zero) is returned.

If an underlying TimeZone implementation subclass supports historical and future Daylight Saving Time schedule changes, this method returns the amount of saving time of the last known Daylight Saving Time rule that can be a future prediction.

If the amount of saving time at any given time stamp is required, construct a Calendar with this TimeZone and the time stamp, and call Calendar#get(int) Calendar.get(Calendar#DST_OFFSET).
