hi all,

How do I make sure that the system current time that I get 
using System.currentTimeMillis() or other methods return me the 
exact local time?

I find that the time returned is always GMT +1.00 but our local 
time is GMT +8.00. Hence, there's always 7 hours difference. 
How do I resolve this without hardcoding the offset? Has it got 
to do with the locale. The locale which I'm using for my app is 
_en_GB.

Thanks in advance.
