How to fetch current timezone name Asia/Calcutta in Flutter/Dart?
DateTime.now().timeZoneName fetches String IST.
DateTime.now().timeZoneOffset fetches Duration 5:30:00.000000.
Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone gives the desired result, Asia/Calcutta, in JavaScript.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Check out the package flutter_native_timezone, easy to setup and use.
import the package
import 'package:flutter_native_timezone/flutter_native_timezone.dart';
and use as
timezone = await FlutterNativeTimezone.getLocalTimezone();
I got the timezone fixed in Flutter this way.
import 'package:timezone/data/latest.dart' as tz;
import 'package:timezone/timezone.dart' as tz;
static const platform = const MethodChannel('channel NAME');
Future<void> _configureLocalTimeZone() async {
tz.initializeTimeZones();
var locations = tz.timeZoneDatabase.locations;
final locationName = tz.getLocation(locations.keys.first); //Asia/Calcutta
tz.setLocalLocation(locationName);
}
Calling
await _configureLocalTimeZone();
