nsdate

I am trying to take a date string and turn it into a specific NSDate (eg. July 1, 1981), but I don't see and methods for setting the date. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Perhaps convert a DateTime object to NSDate? The easiest way is to set it from DateTime. REVISION: The NSDate conversion operators are now explicit, not implicit anymore! I updated the example below. If you look at the NSDate prototype you will find two operators: public static explicit operator NSDate(DateTime dt); public static explicit operator DateTime(NSDate d); These two will do the conversion for you. Explicit

Can anybody give me some code how I get the date? NSDateComponents *components = [[NSCalendarcurrentCalendar] component:NSCalendarUnitDay | NSCalendarUnitMonth | NSCalendarUnitYearfromDate:[NSDatedate]]; NSString *day = [components day]; NSString *week = [components month]; NSString *year = [components year]; NSString *date = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.%@.%@",day,week,year]; ^^ my code is not working :S And is there a way that I can get the date of tomorrow, in 1 week and so on... Thanks :) Rob You can either use a variation of your code that retrieves the numeric components using

When my app is launched I want to check whether the date is between 9:00-18:00. And I can get the time of now using NSDate . How can I check the time? So many answers and so many flaws... You can use NSDateFormatter in order to get an user-friendly string from a date. But it is a very bad idea to use that string for date comparisons! Please ignore any answer to your question that involves using strings... If you want to get information about a date's year, month, day, hour, minute, etc., you should use NSCalendar and NSDateComponents . In order to check whether a date is between 9:00 and 18:00

I am looking for a fully working solution, one that works with: any iOS locale or timezone any/most HTTP servers Xcode 4.0.2 (see why) Current broken code: NSString lastModifiedString = @"Mon, 06 Jun 2011 12:47:05 GMT"; NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; //df.dateFormat = @"EEE',' dd MMM yyyy HH':'mm':'ss 'GMT'"; df.dateFormat = @"EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z"; df.locale = [[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US_POSIX"] autorelease]; df.timeZone = [NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"GMT"]; NSDate date = [df dateFromString:lastModifiedString]; I assumed that

How might the day number of the year be found with swift? Is there a simple way that I'm not seeing, or do I have to find the number of seconds from Jan 1 to the current date and divide by the number of seconds in a day? Martin R This is a translation of the answer to How do you calculate the day of the year for a specific date in Objective-C? to Swift. Swift 2: let date = NSDate() // now let cal = NSCalendar.currentCalendar() let day = cal.ordinalityOfUnit(.Day, inUnit: .Year, forDate: date) print(day) Swift 3: let date = Date() // now let cal = Calendar.current let day = cal.ordinality(of:

I'm trying to generate a NSDate from a month day and year (all in integer format). Right now my attempt is such: NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar]; NSDateComponents *components = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init]; NSNumber *day = [dataSource valueForKey:@"day"]; NSNumber *month = [dataSource valueForKey:@"month"]; NSNumber *year = [dataSource valueForKey:@"year"]; [components setDay:[day intValue]]; [components setMonth:[month intValue]]; [components setMonth:[year intValue]]; NSDate *_date = [calendar dateFromComponents:components]; However, _date outputs the following when
