Android: Is there a way to get timezone for Country name?

Question

Is there a way to get the Timezone given the name of a Country? I use getCountryName() in Maps to get the name of the Country.

This seems difficult considering that some countries span over multiple time zones.

Is there any other way to get the timezone of the place the user clicks on? – Rohith Nandakumar Nov 04 '10 at 11:29
