self.dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[self.dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:#"UTC"]];
[self.dateFormatter setLocale:[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:#"en_US_POSIX"]];
[self.dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyyMMdd"];
NSDate *date = [NSDate date];
NSString *dateString = [self.dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
this code sometimes returns for me incorrect date such as 201300090005.
I don't understand why.
I tried the something like this, but it always works fine for me:-
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]autorelease];
[dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:#"UTC"]];
[dateFormatter setLocale:[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:#"en_US_POSIX"]];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyyMMdd"];
NSDate *date = [NSDate date];
NSString *dateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
NSLog(#"yourDateString=%#",dateString);

In some scenario, I am getting currentDateString as nil.My app is in live so i can't find out exact scenario.
NSDate *currentDate = [NSDate date];
NSCalendar *myCalendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"];
NSString *currentDateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:currentDate];
I tried this code. I got correct results. Please set DateFormatter Locale
NSDate *currentDate = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setLocale:[NSLocale localeWithLocaleIdentifier:#"en_US_POSIX"]];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"];
NSString *currentDateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:currentDate];
The date is always nil, but if I change the dateString to any other date like 03/01/1975 it works normally. Any idea?
NSString *dateString = #"05/01/1975";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
NSLocale *gbLocale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:#"us"];
[dateFormatter setLocale:gbLocale];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"MM/dd/yyyy"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
Try this
NSString *dateString = #"05/01/1975";
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
[formatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:#"UTC"]];
[formatter setLocale:[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:#"en_US_POSIX"]];
[formatter setDateFormat:#"MM.dd.yyyy"];
NSDate *anotherDate = [formatter dateFromString:dateString];
NSLog(#"%#",anotherDate);
It will give output like this
1975-05-01 00:00:00 +0000
try this code
- (NSDate *)getPickerDateForString:(NSString *)dateString
{
NSDate * dt;
if (!dateFormatter)
{
dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
}
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd/MM/yyyy"];
dt = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
return dt;
}
I try to convert NSString to NSDate with this code:
NSString *dateString=[[NSString alloc] init];
dateString = [[messageArray objectAtIndex:i] tim_dte];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"HH:mm,yyyy/MM/dd"];
NSDate *dateFromString = [[NSDate alloc] init];
dateFromString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
msg.date = dateFromString;
But msg.Date is nil even if dateString shows the correct date string. What am I missing?
change this format
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"HH:mm,yyyy/MM/dd"];
into and try
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm"];
Update
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm"];
// use simple
msg.date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:#"2016/05/06 12:36"];
NSLog(#"final date == %#",dateFromString);
//NSDate *dateFromString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:#"2016/05/06 12:36"];
// NSLog(#"final date == %#",dateFromString);
Try this code to convert NSString to NSDate
NSString *dateString = #"2016-05-06";
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];
Use this Code,
NSString *dateString=[[NSString alloc] init];
dateString =[[messageArray objectAtIndex:i] tim_dte];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm"];
NSDate *dateFromString = [[NSDate alloc] init];
dateFromString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
msg.date=dateFromString;
hope its helpful
i came across a problem in my iPhone application.
in my app i converte time string to date like that
NSString *time = #"01:30 PM";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"hh:mm a"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:time];
and for some reason always date is nil after [dateFormat dateFromString:time].
can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
thanks
I'm assuming your device language is other then English. In that case you need to set the date formatter Locale. Try this code.
NSString *time = #"01:30 PM";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"hh:mm a"];
[dateFormat setLocale:[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:#"en_US_POSIX"]];
try this...
NSString *time = #"01:30 pm";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"hh:mm a"];
dateFormat.timeZone = [NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:#"GMT"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:time];
NSLog(#"date %#",[dateFormat stringFromDate:date]);
NSString *dats1 = #"01:30:00 PM";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter1 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] ;
[dateFormatter1 setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];
[dateFormatter1 setDateFormat:#"HH:mm:ss"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter1 dateFromString:dats1];
NSLog(#"date : %#", date);
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:#"hh:mm a"];
NSLog(#"Current Date: %#", [formatter stringFromDate:date]);
I am new to iOS.
I got wrong format when getting NSLog for date.
Output is 2013-12-06 18:30:00 +0000 but I need to display in dd/mm/yyyy format.
Here is my code:
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd"];
NSLog(#"%#", [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]]);
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd/MM/yyyy"];
NSLog(#"%#", [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]]);
NSString *str=[dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd/MM/yyyy"];
NSDate *date=[dateFormatter dateFromString:[dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]]];
[dateFormatter release];
Don't make it complex,this should work.
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd/MM/yyyy"];
NSLog(#"%#", [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]]);
May this help you.
NSDateFormatter *format = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[format setDateFormat:#"dd/MMM/yyyy"];
NSDate *now = [[NSDate alloc] init];
NSString *dateString = [format stringFromDate:now];
NSLog(#"%#",dateString);
Enjoy coding
NSDate *date = [NSDate date];
NSLog(#"%#",date);
Above code will give you following output:
2014-11-27 10:44:43 +0000
But whenever you want to set date in proper format by removing time then follow the below code,
NSDate *date = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"dd/MM/yyyy"];
NSString *dateString = [dateFormat stringFromDate:date];
NSLog(#"%#",dateString);
The Output will be : 27/11/2014
