Retrieving current local time on iPhone?

Question

I\'m looking to get the current hour and minute on a user\'s iPhone for display in an app that doesn\'t show the status bar. Is there a simple way to do this?

Answer 1

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];
[dateFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];
[dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone localTimeZone]];
NSString *currentTime = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]]
[dateFormatter release]; dateFormatter = nil;

I think you should try this. The timeZone is important.
