nsdate

My app used [NSDate date ] function to get current date. Its work fine other days except 1st of every month during AM . i.e Follow Following steps : Set the system date as 01 - June - 2011 & time between 00.00 midnight to 5.59 AM. Use following code : NSLog(@"Current Date :: %@",[NSDate date]); The O/P is :: Current Date :: 2011-05-31 19:40:21 +0000 Desired O/P is :: Current Date :: 2011-06-01 00:00:0( i.e.the time which is set ) +0000 Also From 6 AM it works fine. What is reason for this? Actually I don't want NSDate in string format but what I want is NSDate date object corresponding to 1st

How would I compare only the year-month-day components of 2 NSDates ? So here's how you'd do it: NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar]; NSInteger desiredComponents = (NSDayCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSYearCalendarUnit); NSDate *firstDate = ...; // one date NSDate *secondDate = ...; // the other date NSDateComponents *firstComponents = [calendar components:desiredComponents fromDate:firstDate]; NSDateComponents *secondComponents = [calendar components:desiredComponents fromDate:secondDate]; NSDate *truncatedFirst = [calendar dateFromComponents:firstComponents]; NSDate

I'm using a NSFetchedResultsController and a UITableViewController to populate a UITableView from a CoreData database. I have a NSDate object saved into this Date attribute labeled "startTime". Then I'm trying to only pull todays's data by using a NSPredicate that looks like this: NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"startDate == %@", todaysDate]; I'm getting zero results. I understand this because a NSDate object just hold the number of seconds or milliseconds or whatever since Jan 1 1970 right? So comparing 1111111111111 and 1111111111112, while on the same day, are

I got a string from parsing a XML file which looks like this: Fri, 09 Apr 2010 00:00:45 +0200 and the corresponding pattern should be this "EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss ZZ", but I get (null). This is my code: NSString *dateString = @"Fri, 09 Apr 2010 00:00:45 +0200"; NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss ZZ"]; NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString]; NSLog(@"date:%@",date); // result date:(null) Edit: This works for me now, I had to switch to en-US locale: NSLocale* usLocale = [[NSLocale alloc]
