nsdate

In my Core Data app I am using a FetchedResultsController. Usually to set titles for headers in a UITableView you would implement the following method like so: - (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section { id <NSFetchedResultsSectionInfo> sectionInfo = [[<#Fetched results controller#> sections] objectAtIndex:section]; return [sectionInfo name]; } where [sectionInfo name] returns a NSString. my sectionKeyPath is based on an NSDate and this all works fine apart from the section headers it gives me are the raw date description strings (e.g. 12/12

Ive been racking my brains with no luck. Could someone please tell me how i would convert this string: "2011-01-13T17:00:00+11:00" into a NSDate? The unicode date format doc is here Also, for your situation, you could try this: // original string NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"2011-01-13T17:00:00+11:00"]; // convert to date NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; // ignore +11 and use timezone name instead of seconds from gmt [dateFormat setDateFormat:@"YYYY-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'+11:00'"]; [dateFormat setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:@"Australia

I have one query regarding NSDate. I have a date i.e. "2011-10-04 07:36:38 +0000", and I want to check if this date is yesterday, or today or a future date. How would I go about this? Shri Try this: Note: Change the date format as per your need. NSDateFormatter* df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [df setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"]; NSDate* enteredDate = [df dateFromString:@"10/04/2011"]; NSDate * today = [NSDate date]; NSComparisonResult result = [today compare:enteredDate]; switch (result) { case NSOrderedAscending: NSLog(@"Future Date"); break; case NSOrderedDescending: NSLog(@"Earlier Date"

I am trying to force a user to select a date in the future with a date picker. I obviously used the compare: method, however, when I do the following code, even if it's the same date as [NSDate date], it tells the executes the if statement. Here is my code: if ([datePicker.date compare:[NSDate date]] == NSOrderedAscending) // If the picked date is earlier than today { UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Hmm, this date is earlier than today" message:@"The date you've selected is earlier than today's date, please pick another" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Okay, I'll

I have a date that I need to split in some components. for example let components = NSCalendarUnit.CalendarUnitDay | NSCalendarUnit.CalendarUnitHour let date = calendar.components(components, fromDate: aDate, toDate: NSDate(), options: nil) var dateToPrint = "\(date.day) days \(date.hour) hours" dateToPrint will be the number of days and hours from aDate to now. But if i want the number of weeks instead of days let components = NSCalendarUnit.CalendarUnitWeek | NSCalendarUnit.CalendarUnitHour let date = calendar.components(components, fromDate: aDate, toDate: NSDate(), options: nil) var

I'm try to get birth data for contacts but if user does not choose year or the contact come from Facebook and the year or the data it self is hidden so it give me the "1604" value for the year u can see what i mean in the image. Congratulations, you've discovered an implementation detail! First off, Contacts stores dates as points in time, and it is impossible to store a point in time without a year, because every point in time has a year. Thus, a decision had to be made about how Address Book would store an "unknown" year in a date. It was decided that "1604" would be a fine year, for several
