NSTimeInterval to HH:mm:ss?

Question

If I have an NSTimeInterval that is set to say 200.0, is there a way to convert that into 00:03:20, I was thinking I could initialise an NSDate with it and then use NSDateFo

Answer 1

Objective C version of onmyway133's answer

- (NSString*) formatTimeInterval:(NSTimeInterval) timeInterval {

    NSDateComponentsFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateComponentsFormatter alloc] init];

    formatter.zeroFormattingBehavior = NSDateComponentsFormatterZeroFormattingBehaviorPad;

    if (timeInterval > 3600) {
        formatter.allowedUnits = NSCalendarUnitHour | NSCalendarUnitMinute | NSCalendarUnitSecond;
    } else {
        formatter.allowedUnits = NSCalendarUnitMinute | NSCalendarUnitSecond;
    }

    return [formatter stringFromTimeInterval:timeInterval];
}
