Changing date format on iOS
(2 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
Was wondering if there is an easy conversion to take a date in the format dd/MM/yyyy and transform it to MM/dd/yyyy to display.
Current code tried is:
//in dd/MM/yyyy format string below.
NSString *stringToFormat = #"28/05/1991";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"MM/dd/yyyy"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:stringToFormat];
However, date will return nil in this situation. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
You'll have to "decode" and then "encode". You're currently trying to parse 28 as a month. Try this:
//in dd/MM/yyyy format string below.
NSString *stringToFormat = #"28/05/1991";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd/MM/yyyy"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:stringToFormat];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"MM/dd/yyyy"];
[dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];

I'm trying to parse this date : 2016-04-16T10:00:00-0400 but I don't know what is '-0400' in this case ?
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

^^^
NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:#"2016-04-16T10:00:00-0400"];
Thanks for your help !
use
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"];
//[dateFormat setLocale:[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:#"en_US"]];
NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:#"2016-04-16T10:00:00-0400"];
NSLog(#"date ==%#",date);
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"yyyy"];
NSString *finalStr = [dateFormat stringFromDate:date];
NSLog(#"finalStr ==%#",finalStr);
output like

Converting an ISO 8601 timestamp into an NSDate: How does one deal with the UTC time offset?

I have an NSString #"2015-05-24T20:10:00.000Z", and I am using an NSDateFormatter with the date format #"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ", but it always returns nil.
I am using the following code, but the output is always (null).
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
// NSString *input = #"2013-05-08T19:03:53+00:00";
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"]; //iso 8601 format
NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:[dictScheduleData valueForKey:#"scheduledOn"]]; // coming from the server 2015-05-24T20:10:00.000Z
NSLog(#"Date output: %#", date);
Try this dateFormat
#"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"
You have to match the string's date format. Use NSDateFormatter, then set the date format to match the string's date format. Then use dateFromString method.
to convert it to (5/24, 8:00PM), you can change NSDateFormatter's dateFormat to "M/d, h:mma", then use NSDateFormatter's method stringFromDate (the date you previously got, which should not be nil if done correctly). Then put that string in UILabel's text.
NSDate *currentTime = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *timeFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[timeFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];
[timeFormatter setLocale:[NSLocale currentLocale]];
NSString *DateString = [timeFormatter stringFromDate:currentTime];

NSDateFormatter won't format strange date string
(3 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I have a string of the form "2013-05-12T15:38:20+00:00" but I can't work out why my date formatter won't convert it to an NSDate object. I have tried using "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss+zz:zz" and a bunch of variations on it but no luck.
What would be the correct date format for this string?
Thanks
The correct date format for this string is "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssz"
Thanks #Anupdas for pointing me to a similar question.
Use this format
NSDateFormatter *form = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[form setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:sszzz"];
NSLog(#"notDate =====> %#",[form dateFromString:#"2013-05-12T15:38:20+00:00"]);
NSDate *notDate = [form dateFromString:[#"" stringByAppendingFormat:#"2013-05-12T15:38:20+00:00"]];
NSLog(#"notDate =====> %#",[form dateFromString:#"2013-05-12T15:38:20+00:00"]);
I hope it helps you
Try this code
your string
NSDateFormatter* dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss+zz:zz"];
NSDate* date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
Conversion of the NSString to a NSDate
Now here you change any format as you want
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dddd - MMMM dd,yyy"];
NSString* myNiceLookingDate = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
[dateFormatter release];

I make a request to the flickr api and it returns me the date in the following format
"2013-02-01T06:25:47Z"
How do i convert this into NSDate format??
It's a simple one, converting NSString to NSDate we use NSDateformatter using dateFromString method. We need to provide the Dateformatter style with existing style for NSString
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];
You can use below function:
-(NSDate *)getDateFromString:(NSString *)pstrDate
{
NSDateFormatter *df1 = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
[df1 setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"];
NSDate *dtPostDate = [df1 dateFromString:pstrDate];
return dtPostDate;
}
Hope, it will be helpful to you.
This function will accept your string date and return the NSDate value.
Cheers!

You can always google for these kind of issues
Try to look at NSDateFormatter Class,
The format you are looking for is something like:
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"MMM dd,yyy hh:mm:ss a"]; //dateFormatter is an object of class NSDateFormatter
NSDate *selected_Date = //Your Date object here;
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"MMM dd,yyy hh:mm:ss a"];
NSString* strDateObj [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[dateFormat stringFromDate:selected_Date]];
NSLog(#"Date %#",)
