nsdate

Why is this giving me the wrong date ? NSCalendar *myCalendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier: NSGregorianCalendar]; NSDateComponents* components = [myCalendar components:NSYearCalendarUnit|NSMonthCalendarUnit|NSDayCalendarUnit fromDate:[NSDate date]]; [components setYear:2013]; [components setMonth:06]; [components setDay:28]; [components setHour:5]; [components setMinute:00]; NSDate *startDate1 = [myCalendar dateFromComponents:components]; NSLog(@"start date is %@",startDate1); start date is 2013-06-28 03:00:00 +0000 EDIT What I want to do is the following. I have a start

i'm having an array fill with date string, which i would like to go through and check whether the date is today or yesterday. The date string could look like following: 2015-04-10 22:07:00 So far i've tried just to convert it using dateFormatter, but it keeps returning nil var dateString = arrayNews[0][0].date as NSString var dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter() dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss" var date = dateFormatter.dateFromString(dateString as String) println(date) the sudo code i would like to look something like this if dateString == currentDate date = "Today, hh:mm" else if

I have tried many times to convert the string 2013-01-27T02:31:47+08:00 into NSDate. I have found the formatting guide by apple and copied its code and tried , but it doesn't work. NSDateFormatter *rfc3339DateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; NSLocale *enUSPOSIXLocale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US_POSIX"]; [rfc3339DateFormatter setLocale:enUSPOSIXLocale]; [rfc3339DateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss'Z'"]; [rfc3339DateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneForSecondsFromGMT:8]]; // Convert the RFC 3339 date time string to an NSDate.

This question already has an answer here: NSDate Format outputting wrong date 5 answers I have the following code which takes a NSString and returns NSDate. I have copied this code from a project in which it runs perfectly fine - but some how this gives me the wrong output - (NSDate *)dateFromString:(NSString *)date { static NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter; if (!dateFormatter) { dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy"]; } NSLog(@"Date: %@ Formatted: %@",date,[dateFormatter dateFromString:date]); return [dateFormatter dateFromString:date]; } and

I know there is a lot of questions of this type, but I did't find solution for my case; I need to get current and correct NSDate object, not NSString ! This code returns wrong time (+3 hours), because I'm from Ukraine. NSDate *currentDate = [NSDate date]; How to get current NSDate object from NSDateFormatter ? I know only how to get NSString , but I don't need it. EDIT: I'm using this code to compare 2 NSDates using NSCalendar object, here is code: NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar]; NSUInteger unitFlags = NSDayCalendarUnit | NSHourCalendarUnit | NSMinuteCalendarUnit |

I am displaying time. It will show me :TIME :2012-06-18 23:00:00 +0000 But after using NSDateFormatter I do not know why it is giving me 00:00:00 AM NSDateFormatter* dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"HH:mm:ss a"]; NSLog(@"TIME :%@",self.startDate); NSDate *date = [NSDate date]; NSString * _startTime = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date]; NSLog(@"current time : %@",_startTime); NSString * _startTime1 = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:self.startDate]; NSLog(@"Start time : %@",_startTime1); [dateFormatter release]; **Result is** TIME :2012-06-18 23:00:00
