Im trying to convert the results of timezone to text for use in textView. I am new ro android devloping, so i need some help.

Here is my current code:

Code:

TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault();
        TextView tv = new TextView(this);
        tv.setText(tz);

but it gives me this error:

Code:

The method setText(CharSequence) in the type TextView is not applicable for the arguments (TimeZone)

.

I understand the error, but I do not know how to convert the Timezone to "Eastern Standard Time" or "Pacific Standard Time" or whatever the case may be.

remember im a noob.. so please make it easy and actually show me the code. (im also new to java)
