How to get GMT timeoffset value for current time in Dart/Flutter

Question

I'm developing an application where I need to get only GMT offset time, i.e. for India +5.30. How do I achieve this dart.

var now = new DateTime.now(); var timezoneOffset=now.timeZoneOffset;

print (timezoneOffset); console : 05:30:00

how to get +/- GMT offset?

Solution

The timeZoneOffset gives you the difference between the timezone of your device and UTC.

Since UTC is the same time with GMT then timeZoneOffset give you the +/- GMT offset you need.

In your Question, you said the offset for India is +5.30 and when you printed print(timezoneOffset) it gave you 05:30:00 which is exactly the 5:30 offset you needed.

That is the offset giving to you. You said the offset for india is +5:50 and the console printed out 05:30:00 which is exactly what you need
