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

A shorter approach

NSDate * now = [NSDate date];
timeLabel.text = [NSDateFormatter localizedStringFromDate:now
                                                dateStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle
                                                timeStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
