Java Client for TimeZone api from Google Maps

Java Client for TimeZone api from Google Maps

IDE Used : Eclipse

I have developed this Test class on Play framework 2.3.10 so using build.sbt

Include the following dependencies

  "com.google.maps" % "google-maps-services" % "0.1.17",
  "com.squareup.okhttp3" % "okhttp" % "3.6.0",
  "com.squareup.okio" % "okio" % "1.8.0"

Make use you have gson.jar version at least to be 2.3.1

Also make sure that Eclipse IDE compiles the correct version of these jar files other wise

            GeoApiContext context = new GeoApiContext().setApiKey("google maps api key goes here");
            TimeZoneTest test = new TimeZoneTest (context);
            LatLng location = new LatLng(31.49822, 101.29795);
            TimeZone tz = TimeZoneApi.getTimeZone(test.context, location).await();
            System.out.println(tz.getDisplayName());
        }
        
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}
