Current Week Start and End Date

Question

I want to get the current week start and end date and I also want to use the previous week start and end date and next week of the start and end date in current month.

Answer 1

By take advantage of the method rangeOfUnit:startDate:interval:forDate: of NSDate, there is a simpler way to achieve this:

- (void)startDate:(NSDate **)start andEndDate:(NSDate **)end ofWeekOn:(NSDate *)date{
    NSDate *startDate = nil;
    NSTimeInterval duration = 0;
    BOOL b = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] rangeOfUnit:NSWeekCalendarUnit startDate:&startDate interval:&duration forDate:date];
    if(! b){
        *start = nil;
        *end = nil;
        return;
    }
    NSDate *endDate = [startDate dateByAddingTimeInterval:duration-1];
    *start = startDate;
    *end = endDate;
}

NSDate *this_start = nil, *this_end = nil;
[self startDate:&this_start andEndDate:&this_end ofWeekOn:[NSDate date]];

So now you have the start date and end date of this week. Then last week:

NSDate *lastWeekDate = [this_start dateByAddingTimeInterval:-10];
NSDate *last_start = nil, *last_end = nil;
[self startDate:&last_start andEndDate:&last_end ofWeekOn:lastWeekDate];

Next week:

NSDate *nextWeekDate = [this_end dateByAddingTimeInterval:10];
NSDate *next_start = nil, *next_end = nil;
[self startDate:&next_start andEndDate:&next_end ofWeekOn:nextWeekDate];

Now you have them all.
