Java ZonedDateTime now() and of() Method Example

ZonedDateTime class provides below APIs to create the current and specific date-time object with zone information as follows.
  • static ZonedDateTime now() - Obtains the current date-time from the system clock in the default time-zone.
  • static ZonedDateTime now(Clock clock) - Obtains the current date-time from the specified clock.
  • static ZonedDateTime now(ZoneId zone) - Obtains the current date-time from the system clock in the specified time-zone.
  • static ZonedDateTime of(int year, int month, int dayOfMonth, int hour, int minute, int second, int nanoOfSecond, ZoneId zone) - Obtains an instance of ZonedDateTime from a year, month, day, hour, minute, second, nanosecond and time-zone.
  • static ZonedDateTime of(LocalDate date, LocalTime time, ZoneId zone) - Obtains an instance of ZonedDateTime from a local date and time.
  • static ZonedDateTime of(LocalDateTime localDateTime, ZoneId zone) - Obtains an instance of ZonedDateTime from a local date-time.
