Joda-Time and Android system time

Question

Currently Joda DateTime can get the current Android system time, but is it possible to get the DateTime when say the Android system date or timezone has changed?

I have tried this after the Date/Timezone has changed but it does not work:

DateTime dt = DateTime.now();
DateTime dt = new DateTime();

When I use the Calendar it works fine:

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.getTime()  //Returns the correct changed Android Date and Time

As suggested by this post, you can get the Calendar time first:

public static int elapsedDaysJoda() {
  Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
  DateTime dt1 = new DateTime(cal);
  cal.set(2011, 0, 1); 
  DateTime dt2 = new DateTime(cal.getTime());
  Days days = Days.daysBetween(dt2, dt1);
 return days.getDays();
}
