Get the timeZone of the connected user

[Rosy Salameh]

Hi Guys,

How to get the timezone of the Connected User? In fact, I'm getting the value of the Date/Time CustomField related to the timeZone of the Server, what I need is the value related to the timezone of the connected user. Could you please help?

For more details, kindly, check my last comment in https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/324977/get-datetime-customfield-value?page=1#comment-325305

Thanks,

Rosy

Thanks Alexey for the tip :) !

I got it using the following code:

ExtendedPreferences extPref = userPreferencesManager.getExtendedPreferences(authenticationContext.getUser());

log.debug("timeZone: " + extPref.getString(PreferenceKeys.USER_TIMEZONE));

Many thanks,

Rosy

For anyone looking this up as I was. Use the

authenticationContext.getLoggedInUser()

instead of 

authenticationContext.getUser()

I cannot give you absolutely correct answer, but most possible, you should get user using

https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/6.2.1/com/atlassian/jira/user/util/UserUtil.html

and then either check the user property or user preference (I have idea that it is the second)
