Java 8 – Convert Instant to ZonedDateTime

1. Instant -> ZonedDateTime

Example to convert a Instant UTC+0 to a Japan ZonedDateTime UTC+9

InstantZonedDateTime1.java

package com.mkyong.date; import java.time.Instant; import java.time.ZoneId; import java.time.ZonedDateTime; public class InstantZonedDateTime1 { public static void main(String[] argv) { // Z = UTC+0 Instant instant = Instant.now(); System.out.println("Instant : " + instant); // Japan = UTC+9 ZonedDateTime jpTime = instant.atZone(ZoneId.of("Asia/Tokyo")); System.out.println("ZonedDateTime : " + jpTime); System.out.println("OffSet : " + jpTime.getOffset()); } } 

 

Output

Instant : 2016-08-18T06:17:10.225Z
LocalDateTime : 2016-08-18T06:17:10.225

2. ZonedDateTime -> Instant

Convert the Japan ZonedDateTime UTC+9 back to a Instant UTC+0/Z, review the result, the offset is taken care automatically.

InstantZonedDateTime2.java

package com.mkyong.date; import java.time.*; public class InstantZonedDateTime2 { public static void main(String[] argv) { LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.of(2016, Month.AUGUST, 18, 6, 57, 38); // UTC+9 ZonedDateTime jpTime = dateTime.atZone(ZoneId.of("Asia/Tokyo")); System.out.println("ZonedDateTime : " + jpTime); // Convert to instant UTC+0/Z , java.time helps to reduce 9 hours Instant instant = jpTime.toInstant(); System.out.println("Instant : " + instant); } } 

 

Output

ZonedDateTime : 2016-08-18T06:57:38+09:00[Asia/Tokyo]
Instant : 2016-08-17T21:57:38Z
