SimpleDateFormat dateFormatGmt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
dateFormatGmt.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
System.out.println(dateFormatGmt.format(date));

public class CurrentUtcDate 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Date date = new Date();
        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
        dateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
        System.out.println("UTC Time is: " + dateFormat.format(date));
    }
}

输出:

UTC Time is: 22-01-2018 13:14:35

您可以根据需要更改日期格式。

以特定时区和特定格式呈现系统时间的示例代码。

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;

public class TimZoneTest {
    public static void main (String[] args){
        //<GMT><+/-><hour>:<minutes>
        // Any screw up in this format, timezone defaults to GMT QUIETLY. So test your format a few times.

        System.out.println(my_time_in("GMT-5:00", "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss") );
        System.out.println(my_time_in("GMT+5:30", "'at' HH:mm a z 'on' MM/dd/yyyy"));

        System.out.println("---------------------------------------------");
        // Alternate format 
        System.out.println(my_time_in("America/Los_Angeles", "'at' HH:mm a z 'on' MM/dd/yyyy") );
        System.out.println(my_time_in("America/Buenos_Aires", "'at' HH:mm a z 'on' MM/dd/yyyy") );


    }

    public static String my_time_in(String target_time_zone, String format){
        TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone(target_time_zone);
        Date date = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
        SimpleDateFormat date_format_gmt = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
        date_format_gmt.setTimeZone(tz);
        return date_format_gmt.format(date);
    }

}

输出

10/08/2011 21:07:21
at 07:37 AM GMT+05:30 on 10/09/2011
at 19:07 PM PDT on 10/08/2011
at 23:07 PM ART on 10/08/2011

转换UTC当前日期时间:

DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'");

DateTimeZone dateTimeZone = DateTimeZone.getDefault(); //Default Time Zone

DateTime currDateTime = new DateTime(); //Current DateTime

long utcTime = dateTimeZone.convertLocalToUTC(currDateTime .getMillis(), false);

String currTime = formatter.print(utcTime); //UTC time converted to string from long in format of formatter

currDateTime = formatter.parseDateTime(currTime); //Converted to DateTime in UTC

你可以使用的简单函数:

编辑:这个版本使用现代java。时间类。

private static final DateTimeFormatter FORMATTER
        = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd-MM-uuuu HH:mm:ss z");

public static String getUtcDateTime() {
    return ZonedDateTime.now(ZoneId.of("Etc/UTC")).format(FORMATTER);
}

方法返回值:

26-03-2022 17:38:55 UTC

最初的功能:

 public String getUTC_DateTime() {
    SimpleDateFormat dateTimeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss z");
    dateTimeFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));//gmt
    return dateTimeFormat.format(new Date());

}

以上函数返回:

26-03-2022 08:07:21 UTC 

下面是另一种以字符串格式获取GMT时间的方法

String DATE_FORMAT = "EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z" ;
final SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
String dateTimeString =  sdf.format(new Date());
