I am using following code to get a date from string but its not showing correct date
NSDateFormatter *saveddf = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[saveddf setDateFormat:#"EEEE_MMMM dd_YYYY hh:mm a"];
[saveddf setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone systemTimeZone]];
NSDate *savedtdate = [[NSDate alloc] init];
savedtdate = [saveddf dateFromString:datestring];
Saturday_June 22_2013 11:44 AM -- INPUT (datestring).
2013-01-05 06:14:00 +0000 This is output i am getting.(savedtdate).
Please tell whats wrong in my code.
Try this code, it should work:
NSString *yourStringDate = #"Saturday_June 22_2013 11:44 AM";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"EEE_MMM dd_yyyy hh:mm a"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString: yourStringDate];
//Set the required date format
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm"];
NSString *convertedString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
NSLog(#"Converted String : %#",convertedString);
Try to use this code
NSDateFormatter *formatter;
NSString *dateString;
formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:#"dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm"];
dateString = [formatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
NSLog(#"%#",dateString);

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 Get DateTime string from server "8/27/2016 6:56:23 AM"
And I want to fetch only date from this string.
NSString *StreamStartDateTime=#"8/27/2016 6:56:23 AM";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyyMMdd"];
NSDate *date1=[dateFormatter dateFromString:StreamStartDateTime];
But the problem is I am getting null in date1.
please help me to find out where I am doing wrong.
You are using the wrong dateFormat. Please replace your code with following:
NSString *StreamStartDateTime=#"8/27/2016 6:56:23 AM";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a"];
NSDate *date1=[dateFormatter dateFromString:StreamStartDateTime];
do like
NSString *StreamStartDateTime=#"8/27/2016 6:56:23 AM";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"MM/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss a"]; or use hh:mm:ss a
NSDate *date1=[dateFormatter dateFromString:StreamStartDateTime];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyyMMdd"];
NSString *ssecond=[dateFormatter stringFromDate:date1];
NSDate *finalDate=[dateFormatter dateFromString:ssecond];
final output as
Your date format must be match with your date string.
So If your date string is 8/27/2016 6:56:23 AM then your format must be MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a. Then with this format get date from string first like,
NSDate *date=[df dateFromString:StreamStartDateTime];
Now, change date formatter in whatever format you want your date say,
[df setDateFormat:#"yyyyMMdd"];
then
NSString *resultDateStr = [df stringFromDate:date];
Can try like this
NSString *StreamStartDateTime=#"8/27/2016 6:56:23 AM";
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:#"MM/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss a"];
NSDate *streamStartDate = [formatter dateFromString:StreamStartDateTime];
[formatter setDateFormat:#"yyyyMMdd"];
NSString *strDate = [formatter stringFromDate:streamStartDate];
NSDate *compDate = [formatter dateFromString:strDate]; // Get date in UTC format
Output:
Printing description of strDate:
20160827
Printing description of compDate:
2016-08-26 18:30:00 +0000
NSString *LiveStreamStartDateTime=#"8/27/2016 6:56:23 AM";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"MM/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss a"];
NSDate *date1=[dateFormatter dateFromString:LiveStreamStartDateTime];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"MM/dd/yyyy"];
[dateFormatter setLocale:[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:#"en_US_POSIX"]];
[dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:#"UTC"]];
NSString *fisrtdate=[dateFormatter stringFromDate:date1];
NSDate *date11 = [dateFormatter dateFromString:fisrtdate];
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]);
In my projet I am getting date value in the below format,
NSString* str = #"04-10-2011 20:00:00";
Then I am trying to convert it to date
NSDateFormatter* df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[df setDateFormat:#"MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss"];
NSDate *date = [df dateFromString:str];
It is getting nil. Am I giving wrong date format? Can any one let me know?
Your code seems pretty, try to use timezone property of dateformatter to get the exact date
NSString* str = #"04-10-2011 20:00:00";
NSDateFormatter* df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[df setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:#"GMT"]];
NSLocale *locale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:#"en_US_POSIX"];
[df setLocale:locale];
[df setDateFormat:#"MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss"];
NSDate *date = [df dateFromString:str];
NSLog(#"Date is %#", date);
[df setDateFormat:#"mm-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss"];
