Use this

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
TimeZone tz = cal.getTimeZone();
Log.d("Time zone","="+tz.getDisplayName());

or you can also use this

Timezone.getDefault()

String timezoneID = TimeZone.getDefault().getID();
System.out.println(timezoneID);

In my Console its print Asia/Calcutta

And any Date Format I set it Like....

SimpleDateFormat sdf2 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
sdf2.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(timezoneID));

if u want to display the current time, u got to run on it on the UI thread,

this worked for me!
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
dateTxt.setText(new Date().toString());
}
});
}
}, 0, 1000);
