I'm trying to set NSDateFormatter for the below string:
2012-12-18T09:05:24.000Z
It's the output of S3Object Summary lastmodifed object. What is the format I have to set it to if I need to change the display format?Any idea?
NSString *stringe = #"2010-06-21T20:06:36+00:00";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"];
NSDate *reqDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:string];
NSLog(#"%#",[dateFormatter stringFromDate:reqDate]);
Now you will get the date in NSDate object so you can change that date to as per your requirement.
For 2012-12-18T09:05:24.000Z
The format string is
yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'

So I have this string date
"2017-07-25T11:02:00.000Z"
I want to format this date so that I can assign it to my date picker
Below is my code
//Set the date
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"MMM d, yyyy"];
NSDate *dateFromString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:self.userDefaultQuotationModel.dateTime];
[self.quotationDatePicker setDate:dateFromString];
however, if I set the date format as #"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZZZ", it gives me the correct result based on the format. But afterwards, I can't assign this date to the date picker.
I set the date format as #"MMM d, yyyy" because I am looking for the the nearest format as Date Picker's
my Date picker format is Jul 25 2017. I get the date format from this following website
http://nsdateformatter.com/
The *dateFromString does not contain any value after the dateFromString function, which is nil
I have been searching regarding this topic but couldn't find any. What am I missing here? thank you
NSString *strInputDateString = #"2017-07-25T11:02:00.000Z";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZZZ"];
//Set new dateFormate
NSDate *date1 = [dateFormat dateFromString:strInputDateString];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"MMM d, yyyy"];
NSString *strOutputDateString = [dateFormat stringFromDate:date1];
NSLog(#"%#",strInputDateString);
NSLog(#"%#",strOutputDateString);
I have a string with value #"15/11/13". I need to display the same on the label in the nib file.
I am using the following code to display it
NSDateFormatter * df1 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[df1 setDateFormat:#"yyyy-mm-dd"];
[df1 setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
[df1 setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle];
[profile1 setLastPromotionDate:[df1 dateFromString:#"11/11/13"]];
Profile1 is a different class which has lastPromotonDate of type NSDate.
In the nib file I have a outlet to display date which is bound to lastPromotionDate.
When I run the app, the date displayed is Monday, 11 November 2013 12:00:00 AM India Standard Time.
Can I know what is the mistake here? What has to be done so the date displays in this format : 11/11/13
Try this:-
NSString *dateStr=#"11/11/13";
NSDateFormatter *format=[[[NSDateFormatter alloc]init]autorelease];
[format setDateFormat:#"dd/mm/yy"];
NSDate *dt=[format dateFromString:dateStr];
NSString *str=[format stringFromDate:dt];
NSLog(#"%#",str);
NSString *str = #"15/11/13";
// here we create NSDateFormatter object for change the Format of date..
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] ;
// here set format of date which is in your output date (means above str with format)
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yy/mm/dd"];
// here you can fetch date from string with define format
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString: str];
dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] ;
// here set format which you want..
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd/mm/yy"];
NSString *convertedString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
//here convert date in NSString
NSLog(#"Converted String : %#",convertedString);
rofile1.text = convertedString;
Why not just set it as:
NSString *str = #"15/11/13";
[label setStringValue: str];
UPDATE:
To convert this string to NSDate of the same format use:
NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[df setDateFormat:#"dd/mm/yy"];
NSDate * date = [df dateFromString:str];
To get back the string value of date from NSDate use:
NSString *dateStr = [df stringFromDate: date];
Also you may use this dateStr to set you label text as
[label setStringValue: dateStr];
or bind the label to "dateStr". (Do not bind it to "date" of NSDate type, I think this is where you are going wrong).
Use "date" variable that is of NSDate type for your server requests.
UPDATE:
Since you are binding your label to NSDate value, it displays the complete date in the way it is present in NSDate. To retrieve the value of that NSDate in your custom format, you need to use NSDateFormatter that will write the part of NSDate that we need in our format to a NSString.
Also if we convert a NSString to NSDate, it doesn't mean that date formatter will save the NSDate in our custom format, the format of the date formatter specify the format of our string so that NSDate could read the correct date from our custom formatted string. But NSDate will always save the date value in its own format.
We have something called DateFormatter under objects in the library. We can drag and drop that under the text cell if the label in the list view of the nib.
This data formatter converts the date format to string value which is used to display in the UI.
I am retrieving a time value from a server. The format is:
"5/13/2012 6:05am"
It is not specified in the string but I know it is "EDT".
I need to:
1) Get rid of the am/pm thing.
2) Convert it from EDT (or other timezone) to the local GMT+/-x time.
For my timeZone (Italy, GMT+1) it should become:
"13/05/2012 12:05"
How can I do this with NSDateFormatter?
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setLocale: [NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:#"en_US"]];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm"];
...?
Thanks

First of all, you set your NSDateFormatters dateFormat to the source format. In your case:
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"M/d/yyyy h:mma"];
NSDate *myDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:#"5/13/2012 6:05am"];
This creates a new instance of NSDate. Now you set the formatters dateFormat to your target format:
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm"];
NSString *myString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:myDate];
You could also use two date formatters, one for converting you'r string into NSDate instance and one to convert it back to the corrected NSString.
For further informations and the complete list of the current format specs refer to the unicode reference and the Apple Docs
I need to convert the following string into a better readable format:
NSString *deadlineFromTable = #"2012-11-13T22:59:00.000Z";
I would like to convert this into an NSDate, so I can format it.
I tried the following, but I get an incompatible pointer error assigning NSString to NSDate when I try to set it to a UILabel (the last line):
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd-MM-yyyy"];
NSDate *dateFromString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:deadlineFromTable];
self.deadlineLbl.text = dateFromString;
Thanks for any help.
You need to use the dateFormatter twice. Once for parsing, and once for formatting your string.
You cannot assign a date as a label text directly.
Set format: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.Z and then use
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dedlineFromTable];
Set format: dd-MM-yyyy and then use
NSString *text = [dateFormatter stringFromDate: date];
You need two dateFormatters.
One to convert from your input string to a date and then one to convert from that date into the Label format you want.
You also need to change the format of the date formatter so it matches your string...
NSDateFormatter *dateStringParser = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateStringParser setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.Z"];
NSDate *date = [dateStringParser dateFromString:deadlineFromTable];
NSDateFormatter *labelFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[labelFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd-MM-yyyy"];
self.deadlineLbl.text = [labelFormatter stringFromDate:date];
That should do it.
HI all,
i have a date string like this
2011-03-31 13:32:02
i want to convert this date string to display like this
Thursday – March 31, 2011
Please help to solve this
Thanks in advance
Use NSDateFormatter. First initialize the formatter with the appropriate format to parse the source string, something like this:
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];
Then use it to parse the date string:
NSDate *date = [formatter dateFromString:string];
Now you can create a new formatter to output in the new format, or just reuse the existing one:
[formatter setDateFormat:#"EEEE - MMMM dd, yyyy"];
NSString *output = [formatter stringFromDate:date];
