Subtract 7 days from current date

Question

It seems that I can\'t subtract 7 days from the current date. This is how i am doing it:

NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:N

dymv's answer work great. This you can use in swift

extension NSDate {    
    static func changeDaysBy(days : Int) -> NSDate {
        let currentDate = NSDate()
        let dateComponents = NSDateComponents()
        dateComponents.day = days
        return NSCalendar.currentCalendar().dateByAddingComponents(dateComponents, toDate: currentDate, options: NSCalendarOptions(rawValue: 0))!
    }
}

You can call this with

NSDate.changeDaysBy(-7) // Date week earlier
NSDate.changeDaysBy(14) // Date in next two weeks

Hope it helps and thx to dymv
