iPhone NSDate eg. next Friday

Question

I want to create a function which results the date of next Friday but I have no plan how to do it. Has anyone a good hint to me ?

Answer 1

Here is my solution, and just to warn you, on a saturday is the friday before shown. cheers to all

NSDate *today = [[NSDate alloc] init];
NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];

NSDateComponents *weekdayComponents = [gregorian components:NSWeekdayCalendarUnit fromDate:today];
int weekday = [weekdayComponents weekday];


int iOffsetToFryday = -weekday + 6;
weekdayComponents.weekday = iOffsetToFryday;

NSDate *nextFriday = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] dateByAddingComponents:weekdayComponents toDate:today options:0];
