You should use DateUtils.SetDateAndTime2. This allows setting the time zone.

Note that you're probably getting "time in GPS" not "time in GMT". GPS time is 18 seconds ahead of GMT aka UTC.

UTC, Coordinated Universal Time, popularly known as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), or Zulu time.

Interesting... I wasn't familiar with this.

i always use gps time; in the event of nuclear attack, my plan is to use the extra 18 seconds to grab my b4x backups NAS and get into the basement.

for interested parties, the next leap second adjustment is pencilled in for june 30, 2025.
too early to know if it will be plus 1 or minus 1. i hear a lot of money is being wagered on the result.
