如果你想要一个Date对象，字段调整为UTC，你可以用Joda Time这样做:

import org.joda.time.DateTimeZone;
import java.util.Date;

...

Date local = new Date();
System.out.println("Local: " + local);
DateTimeZone zone = DateTimeZone.getDefault();
long utc = zone.convertLocalToUTC(local.getTime(), false);
System.out.println("UTC: " + new Date(utc));

其实不是时间，而是它的表现形式可以改变。

SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss");
f.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
System.out.println(f.format(new Date()));

地球上任何地方的时间都是一样的，但我们对时间的感知可能会因地点的不同而不同。

    Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    System.out.println("current: "+c.getTime());

    TimeZone z = c.getTimeZone();
    int offset = z.getRawOffset();
    if(z.inDaylightTime(new Date())){
        offset = offset + z.getDSTSavings();
    }
    int offsetHrs = offset / 1000 / 60 / 60;
    int offsetMins = offset / 1000 / 60 % 60;

    System.out.println("offset: " + offsetHrs);
    System.out.println("offset: " + offsetMins);

    c.add(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, (-offsetHrs));
    c.add(Calendar.MINUTE, (-offsetMins));

    System.out.println("GMT Time: "+c.getTime());

这适用于在Android中获取UTC毫秒。

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
int utcOffset = c.get(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET) + c.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET);  
Long utcMilliseconds = c.getTimeInMillis() + utcOffset;

这里还有一个获取GMT时间戳对象的建议:

import java.sql.Timestamp;
import java.util.Calendar;

...

private static Timestamp getGMT() {
   Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
   return new Timestamp(cal.getTimeInMillis()
                       -cal.get(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET)
                       -cal.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET));
}
