How to add current Time(HH:MM:SS) to NSDate? - ios

Question

I am using https://github.com/ruslanskorb/RSDayFlow to add calendar to my application.
I override the method as
// Prints out the selected date.
- (void)datePickerView:(RSDFDatePickerView *)view didSelectDate:(NSDate *)date {
self.transactionDate = date;
self.inputDateField.text = [[Helper getDateFormatterForClient] stringFromDate:self.transactionDate];
NSLog(#"transactionDate=%#", self.transactionDate);
[self.inputDateField resignFirstResponder];
}
All I want to add is current time HH:MM:SS to the date user selects.
I have no idea how to do this, any help is greatly appreciated
UPDATE
Currently, when the date is selected, I get
2015-01-15 10:34:35.210 myapp-ios[21476:60b] transactionDate=2015-01-15 08:00:00 +0000

Answer 1

If by "current time HH:MM:SS to the date" you mean that you want to replace the selected date's HH:MM:SS with the current HH:MM:SS, you can extract the relevant date components from the selected date, get the current datetime, extract the relevant time components, then add those components back into self.transactionDate, ex:
// Prints out the selected date.
- (void)datePickerView:(RSDFDatePickerView *)view didSelectDate:(NSDate *)date {
self.transactionDate = date;
self.inputDateField.text = [[Helper getDateFormatterForClient] stringFromDate:self.transactionDate];
NSLog(#"transactionDate=%#", self.transactionDate);
[self.inputDateField resignFirstResponder];
// Create an instance of the current calendar
NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
// Break self.transactionDate into day, month, and year components
NSDateComponents* dateComponents = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSCalendarUnitYear|
NSCalendarUnitMonth|NSCalendarUnitDay fromDate:self.transactionDate];
// Save transaction date with just the day, month, and year
self.transactionDate = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] dateFromComponents:dateComponents];
// Get the current datetime
NSDate *currentDate = [NSDate date];
// Extract the hour, minute, and second components
NSDateComponents *components = [calendar components:(NSCalendarUnitHour|
NSCalendarUnitMinute|NSCalendarUnitSecond) fromDate:currentDate];
// Add those hour, minute, and second components to
// self.transactionDate
self.transactionDate = [calendar dateByAddingComponents:components
toDate:self.transactionDate options:0];
}

This method Which I have created the in the category of `NSDate'.
+ (NSDate *)getDateWithCurrentTime:(NSDate *)date {
NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc]
initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian];
NSDateComponents *components =
[gregorian components:(NSCalendarUnitDay |
NSCalendarUnitYear|NSCalendarUnitMonth) fromDate:date];
NSDateComponents *CurrentDateComponent =
[gregorian components:(NSCalendarUnitHour |
NSCalendarUnitMinute|NSCalendarUnitSecond) fromDate:[NSDate date]];
[components setHour:[CurrentDateComponent hour]];
[components setMinute:[CurrentDateComponent minute]];
[components setSecond:[CurrentDateComponent second]];
[components setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone systemTimeZone]];
return [gregorian dateFromComponents:components];
}
