nsdate

I am calculating the day difference between two dates, but I figured out the the following code is actually giving me the difference for 24 hours rather than the difference in date. I have the following code: func daysBetweenDate(startDate: NSDate, endDate: NSDate) -> Int { let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar() let components = calendar.components([.Day], fromDate:startDate, toDate: endDate, options: []) return components.day } So, for the following example I get this result: lastLaunch:2016-06-10 01:39:07 +0000 toady: 2016-06-11 00:41:41 +0000 dayDiff:0 I would have expected the day

In my app I have to compare two times: current (which is 12:44) and given I tried: NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"hh:mm"]; NSDate *neededDate = [[NSDate alloc] init]; neededDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"14:45"]; if ([neededDate compare:[NSDate date]] == NSOrderedAscending) { NSLog(@"yes"); } else NSLog(@"no"); [neededDate release]; [dateFormatter release]; But any time I launch it, NSLog says "no". Please, suggest where I' m wrong. Thank you in advance. Because your neededDate will be equal to "1970/01/01 14:45" . You

I'm creating a date like this : NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar]; NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"YYYY"]; NSInteger year = [[dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]] intValue]; NSLog(@"NSInteger YEAR : %d\n", year); //minutes, hours, day and month are initialized elsewhere... NSDateComponents *comps = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init]; [comps setYear:year]; [comps setMonth:month]; [comps setDay:day]; [comps setHour:hours]; [comps setMinute:minutes]; NSDate *sampleDate =

I want to get a NSDate object from a string of date, but it returns nil. What am I doing wrong? Thanks! NSString *dateString = @"2012-04-05T13:27:32.369Z"; NSDateFormatter* df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init]; [df setDateFormat:@"YYYY-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"]; NSDate* date = [df dateFromString:dateString]; NSLog(@"1%@",date); [df release]; The "Z" must be quoted: NSDateFormatter* df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init]; NSString *dateString = @"2012-04-05T13:27:32.369Z"; [df setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'"]; NSDate* date = [df dateFromString:dateString]; NSLog(@"1: %@",date); NSString

I want to ask about NSDate , how to set/format current time like "2015-08-12 09:30:41 +0000" to "2015-08-12 00:00:00 +0000 I'm already using : var dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter() dateFormatter.dateStyle = .MediumStyle dateFormatter.timeStyle = .NoStyle //result date will be : Aug 12, 2015 but the value date is not stored in the Database exactly as "2015-08-12 00:00:00 +0000" but storing as "2015-08-11 17:00:00 +0000 UTC" Leo Dabus let dateString = "2015-08-12 09:30:41 +0000" let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter() dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd" dateFormatter.calendar = NSCalendar

I'm trying to set a particular date for a unit test: NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar]; NSDateComponents *components = [[[NSDateComponents alloc] init] autorelease]; [components setCalendar:calendar]; [components setYear:2011]; [components setMonth:5]; [components setDay:12]; [components setHour:1]; [components setMinute:0]; [components setSecond:0]; NSDate *date = [calendar dateFromComponents:components]; NSLog(@"Date I tried to set: %@", date); However, this prints out "Date I tried to set: 2011-05-11 17:00:00 +0000." The date seems
