nsdate

I've read through the various posts on SO about this, but have still not solved the problem. Here's the string that I'm trying to parse into an NSDate object: 2012-04-08T12:00:00.00+02:00 I understand that the problem is the time zone format. Here's the date format string that I'm trying: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:SSZZZZ Thanks for any help. Three things: Use the -[NSDateFormatter getObjectValue:forString:range:error:] method to learn how much of the string was parsed and what error prevented parsing further. The ZZZZ format string corresponds to something like "GMT+02:00", with that "GMT" in there.

so i am making a basic week picker, where you can pick a week number and year, and get the corresponding date from the weeks startpoint. A basic test scenario let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar() let components = NSDateComponents() components.year = 2015 components.weekOfYear = 15 print(calendar.dateFromComponents(components)!) You can see, that i set the wanted year to 2015 and the wanted week to 15, but the result i get is: "2014-12-31 23:00:00 +0000" ... and thats really gets me hanging. No matter what week and year i choose, it will always be off and in december. Thank you in

if the question is not explained clearly please excuse me. I'm developing an iphone Client-Server app, i created all the classes, instances and ect. I can even send get and parse the response too.. Anyway, now i need to make my method be called in a defined period of time(for instance, call it repeatly in 10 seconds). I googled a lot and also take a look at NSDate but i couldn't solve.. Now, can anyone please help me how to handle this situation? Thank you very much You can create and schedule an instance of NSTimer to call your method on a given time interval. See in particular the following

i need to calculate the weekday for a given date, however, depending on the calendar a week can star on Monday and somwhere on Sunday so i wanted to set it, to start on Monday, using [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] setFirstWeekday:2]; however, the calculation outcome is the same { [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] setFirstWeekday:1]; NSDateComponents *weekdayComponents = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:(NSDayCalendarUnit | NSWeekdayCalendarUnit) fromDate:date]; NSInteger weekday = [weekdayComponents weekday] - 1; NSLog(@"%d", weekday); } { [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] setFirstWeekday:2];

I'm trying to fetch from Core Data records that have a startTime between two dates. Here's my code: NSDate *today = [NSDate date]; NSDate *distantFuture = [NSDate distantFuture]; // Create the predicate NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"startTime BETWEEN %@", [NSArray arrayWithObjects:today, distantFuture, nil]]; NSLog(@"today: %@, distantFuture: %@", today, distantFuture); NSLog(@"predicate: %@", predicate); // Add the predicate to the fetchRequest [[[self fetchedResultsController] fetchRequest] setPredicate:predicate]; NSError *error; if (![[self
