Get the Day from the date in iOS sdk

In my app, want to get the day (i.e. Sunday, Monday,etc.) from the date.

My code is as follow:

NSDate *currentDate = [NSDat

I have made a small NSDate category that helps you find the weekday name from a date. It returns the localised string for the names of the weekdays. Have a look at it. You can use it if you want to.

NKLocalizedWeekday+NSDate

Basically, this is the code you need:

NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSDateComponents *components = [calendar components:NSWeekdayCalendarUnit fromDate:[NSDate date]];
int weekdayNumber = [components weekday];
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
NSString *weekdayString = [[formatter weekdaySymbols] objectAtIndex:weekdayNumber - 1];
