Support for timezoneOffsetInMinutes in Android

[StarryFire]

Feature request

Why it is needed

Our app uses in-app timezone rather than the device's timezone. So we need to set the timezone offset in datetime pickers in android like we do for iOS datetime pickers.

Code sample

<DateTimePicker
     ...
     timezoneOffsetInMinutes={30}
    ...
/>

Hello @StarryFire
Did you find any solution or workaround for this?

[StarryFire]

@Quelu Yup, i started using this library instead https://github.com/henninghall/react-native-date-picker

This is fixed. Can we lok at merging, or give me some feedback?

This is still not working at my end. Any value I specify in timeZoneOffsetInMinutes results in the same offset, it is not working as expected. Can someone verify? I tried it with this package: https://github.com/henninghall/react-native-date-picker, there it works fine.

Thanks

@bobdepreziz It's not working at my end as well. I tried specifying many values in timeZoneOffsetInMinutes but always get the UTC time in the time picker. Can you suggest me how can I select time relative to my device's timezone?

Looking for a solution to this as well. Not a big issue but isn't very pleasant. haha! seems to be a known issue as seen here #431. Just be patient for a fix and happy coding!

closing as this is implemented, see in readme. There are some bugs, but it's pointless for this to remain open.
