How to force QDateTime::fromString to read UTC time.

Question

I have some input containing UTC time formatted according to iso8601. I try to parse it using QDateTime:

  const char* s = "2009-11-05T03:54:00";
  d.setTimeSpec(Qt::UTC);
  d = QDateTime::fromString(s, Qt::ISODate);
  Qt::TimeSpec ts = d.timeSpec();

When this fragment ends, ts is set to localTime and d contains 3 hours 54 minutes. Does anyone know how to read the date properly?

Answer 1

What about setting the time spec after the fromString method.

const char* s = "2009-11-05T03:54:00";
d = QDateTime::fromString(s, Qt::ISODate);
d.setTimeSpec(Qt::UTC);
Qt::TimeSpec ts = d.timeSpec();
