Get device time/local time from UTC time in Titanium

Question

I'm working on an Titanium application. In which I want to take the local time. My issue is, when I use:

var currentDateTime = new Date();

It shows the UTC time.

Is there anyway to get the current local time or device time ?

Answer 1

I fixed the issue using the getTimezoneOffset function.

I wrote a method which takes the UTC time as parameter and returns the local time

//Function Processes the passed UTC time and returns the current device time.
function changeUTCToLocal(utcTime)
{
    var offset = utcTime.getTimezoneOffset();
    var localTime = utcTime + offset;
    return localTime;
}
