你可以直接用这个

SimpleDateFormat dateFormatGmt = new SimpleDateFormat("dd:MM:yyyy HH:mm:ss");
dateFormatGmt.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
System.out.println(dateFormatGmt.format(new Date())+"");

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

这肯定会返回UTC时间:作为字符串和日期对象!

static final String DATE_FORMAT = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";

public static Date getUTCdatetimeAsDate() {
    // note: doesn't check for null
    return stringDateToDate(getUTCdatetimeAsString());
}

public static String getUTCdatetimeAsString() {
    final SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
    sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
    final String utcTime = sdf.format(new Date());

    return utcTime;
}

public static Date stringDateToDate(String StrDate) {
    Date dateToReturn = null;
    SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(DATEFORMAT);

    try {
        dateToReturn = (Date)dateFormat.parse(StrDate);
    }
    catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return dateToReturn;
}

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

这是我的toUTC的实现:

    public static Date toUTC(Date date){
    long datems = date.getTime();
    long timezoneoffset = TimeZone.getDefault().getOffset(datems);
    datems -= timezoneoffset;
    return new Date(datems);
}

可能有几种方法可以改进它，但它对我来说是有效的。

如果你正在使用joda time，并希望当前时间以毫秒为单位，不需要本地偏移量，你可以使用这个:

long instant = DateTimeZone.UTC.getMillisKeepLocal(DateTimeZone.getDefault(), System.currentTimeMillis());
