I want to convert my input string to particular NSDate format,
Here is the code I have tried.
NSString * result;
NSDate * resultDate;
NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:maxUpcomingDateString];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat1 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
dateFormat1.locale=[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:#"en_US"];
[dateFormat1 setDateFormat:#"yyyy/MMM/dd"];
NSLog(#"maxUpcomingDateString %#",maxUpcomingDateString)
NSDate *d=[dateFormat1 dateFromString:maxUpcomingDateString];
result = [dateFormat1 stringFromDate:date];
resultDate=[dateFormat1 dateFromString:result];
NSLog(#"max1 date upcoming %#",result);
NSLog(#"max2 date upcoming %#", resultDate);
Output of my log shows:
maxUpcomingDateString 10 January 2017
max1 date upcoming 2017/Jan/10
max2 date upcoming (null)
I want the output date in the form of 2017/Jan/10. When I try to log the string it shows me the correct output but when I convert it back to NSDate it shows null.
nsstring to nsdate
NSString *dateString = #"01-02-2010";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
// this is imporant - we set our input date format to match our input string
// if format doesn't match you'll get nil from your string, so be careful
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd-MM-yyyy"];
NSDate *dateFromString = [[NSDate alloc] init];
dateFromString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
nsdate to nsstring
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd-MM-yyyy"];
NSString *stringDate = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
NSLog(#"%#", stringDate);
add this code on dateFormat
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"dd MMM yyyy"];
It will solve the problem.
Add this code after allocating the dateFormat object.
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"dd MMM yyyy"];

NSDateFormatter dateFromString fetched older date.
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd"];
NSDate *date = [dateformatter dateFromString:#"2015-05-18"];
The above function returns date as 2015-05-17 11:39:18 +0000 instead of
2015-05-18
Actually you are printing NSDate, if you are printing Date then compiler automatically convert your date to string by converting using current timezone. if you want actual converted date in NSString form then add one more line that convert NSDate to NSString like as bellowed.
NSDateFormatter * dFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd"];
NSDate *date = [dFormatter dateFromString:#"2015-05-18"];
NSLog(#"String : %#",[dFormatter stringFromDate:date]);
Output :
2015-05-18
this is working code to show the current date...might be solve your problem..you should go for this...
NSDate *Date = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd"];
NSString *dateFormated = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:Date];
NSLog(#"%#", dateFormated);
I am trying to get date in the format Monday, March 09, 2015. But following code is not returning required date format. I think I am using wrong Formatter. Here is the code:
NSString *dateString = #"09-03-2015";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd MMMM yyyy"];
NSDate *date = [[NSDate alloc] init];
date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
NSLog(#"%#",[dateFormatter stringFromDate:date]);
try this...
//Getting date from string
NSString *dateString = #"09-03-2015";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd-MM-yyyy"];
NSDate *date = [[NSDate alloc] init];
date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
// converting into our required date format
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy"];
NSString *reqDateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
NSLog(#"date is %#", reqDateString);
LOG:2015-03-09 12:40:33.456 TestCode [1377:38775] date is Monday, March 09, 2015
Firstly you must convert your dateString to NSDatevalue
NSString *dateString = #"09-03-2015";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd-MM-yyyy"];
NSDate *date = [[NSDate alloc] init];
date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
NSLog(#"%#",[dateFormatter stringFromDate:date]);
after that you could use this format: #"EEEE,MMMM dd, yyyy" to convert that dateValue to dateString like Monday, March 09, 2015
Hope this help
Helpful link for you
Try to set dateFormat property to #"dd'-'MM'-'yyyy" . Always check the unicode the date symbol table. "MMMM" means that the date month should be a full month name.
Try this one..
NSString * yourJSONString = #"09-03-2015";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];;
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd-MM-yyyy"];
[dateFormatter setLocale:[NSLocale currentLocale]];
NSDate *dateFromString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:yourJSONString];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"EEEE,LLLL dd, yyyy"];
NSString *output = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:dateFromString];
NSLog(#"%#", output);
Try this:-
NSDate *date = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
NSString * format = [NSDateFormatter dateFormatFromTemplate:#"EEEEMMMMdyyyy" options:0 locale:[NSLocale currentLocale]];
[formatter setDateFormat:format];
NSString *dateFormatted = [fullDateFormatterTime stringFromDate: date];
NSLog(#"Formatted date: %#", dateFormatted);
I have a NSString like #"2014-11-27T10:54:08.185Z"
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'hh':'mm':'ss'.'SSS'Z'"];
NSDate * date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:self.creationTime];
I tried a lot of different formatter strings, but the date is always nil.
Or is there another problem here?
The hour in your date string format seems to be in the 24h format.
So you need to use HH instead of hh in your dateFormat.
More info
Try
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[formatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'hh':'mm':'ss'.'SSS'Z'"];
NSDate *date = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:self.creationTime];
self.dateLabel.text = [formatter stringFromDate:date];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:#"2013-02-01T06:25:47Z"];
NSTimeZone *pdt = [NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:#"PDT"];
[dateFormatter setTimeZone:pdt];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"HH:mm:ss zzz"];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"K:mm a, z"];
NSString * updated String = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
Please try this...:)
I have date string in this format Feb 23, 2014 coming from web services, I want to convert it to this format 02-23-2014, I am trying a lot but all the time nsstring return me null value
NSDateFormatter *DateFormatter=[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[DateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];
[DateFormatter setDateFormat:#"MM-dd-yyyy"];
// date formatter two
NSDate *dateVal = (NSDate *)bookDetail.classdate;
NSLog(#"date %#",dateVal);
NSString *dateTwo = [DateFormatter stringFromDate:dateVal];
NSLog(#"new date string %#",dateTwo);
NSString *dateString = #"Feb 23, 2014";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"MMM dd, yyyy"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"MM-dd-yyyy"];
NSString *newDateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
So i am parsing an xml file and display on screen the dates that i parse.
The dates are like : Thu , 31 May 2012 20:43:54 GMT.
How can i convert the date to this format : dd/mm/yy ?
i dont need the time.
Well it crashes.
I tried :
NSString *date = [[stories objectAtIndex: storyIndex] objectForKey: #"date"];
//changing dates format
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat: #"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z"];
NSDate *myDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:date];
NSString *dateText = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:[dateFormatter stringFromDate:myDate]];
Any ideas?
You can use NSDateFormatter
For example:
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat: #"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z"];
NSDate *myDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:yourString];
See http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-6.html#Date_Format_Patterns for dateformat patterns
The idea is to use NSDateFormatter to get a date from your input time string, then use a new dateformatter to get whatever new time string you want from the date.
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"EEE, d MMM YYYY HH:mm:ss Z"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:theDateString];
[dateFormatter release];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter2 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter2 setDateFormat:#"dd/mm/yyyy"];
NSString *newDateString = [dateFormatter2 stringFromDate:date];
[dateFormatter2 release];
Alternatively for the second part You can use NSDateComponents.
after:
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"EEE, d MMM YYYY HH:mm:ss Z"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:theDateString];
[dateFormatter release];
//Get NSComponents from date object..
[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#/%#",dateComponent.date,dateComponent.month,dateComponent.year];
