Wrong default timezone on DateTime.now

See original GitHub issue

DateTime.Now reports the default timezone to be UTC which is not correct.

I’m in Germany so it should be UTC+1 atm.

I suspect this is due to DateTimeZone newDefault = DateTimeZone.forTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault()); DateTimeZone.setDefault(newDefault);

Doh, the JodaTimeAndroid.init(context); makes all the difference. Too bad I didn’t notice it 3 hours ago. Maybe the library could throw some kind of exception if it hasn’t been initialized?

For me, this issue is fixed now.
