NSDateFormatter follows the Unicode standard for date and time patterns. Use ‘H’ for the hour on a 24-hour clock: NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [df setDateFormat:@”yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss”]; NSDate *myDate = [df dateFromString:@”2010-03-14 15:00:00″];
Another option is to use the monthSymbols method: int monthNumber = 11; //November NSDateFormatter *df = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease]; NSString *monthName = [[df monthSymbols] objectAtIndex:(monthNumber-1)]; Note that you’ll need to subtract 1 from your 1..12 monthNumber since monthSymbols is zero-based.
The problem there is that Y is for weekOfYear. You have to use “dd-MM-yyyy”. Btw don’t forget to set your date formatter locale to “en_US_POSIX” . If you’re working with fixed-format dates, you should first set the locale of the date formatter to something appropriate for your fixed format. In most cases the best locale … Read more
I think you need to take a look at: + (NSString *)dateFormatFromTemplate:(NSString *)template options:(NSUInteger)opts locale:(NSLocale *)locale As per the docs: Returns a localized date format string representing the given date format components arranged appropriately for the specified locale. Return Value A localized date format string representing the date format components given in template, arranged appropriately … Read more
This isn’t a problem with NSDateFormatter, it’s a change in how iOS 11 supports localization. Under iOS 11, [NSLocale currentLocale] only returns languages supported by your app’s localizations. If your app only supports English (as the base localization), then no matter what language the user selects on the device, currentLocale will always return English. Under … Read more
The reason for this behaviour is Locale, It sets the correct Locale. Set the local of your NSDateFormatter to en_US_POSIX will fix this. It works for both 24-hour and 12 hour format. On iPhone OS, the user can override the default AM/PM versus 24-hour time setting (via Settings > General > Date & Time > … Read more
I don’t know what’s wrong with your code.But looks too much unnecessary things are there like you’re setting calendar, fetching some elements from string. Here is my small version of UTCToLocal and localToUTC function. But for that you need to pass string in specific format. Cause I’ve forcly unwrapped date objects. But you can use … Read more
I had the same problem and i this worked for me You need to set the time zone formatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone(abbreviation: “GMT+0:00”)
For simplicity I’m assuming that the dates you are formatting are all in the past (no “tomorrow” or “next week”). It’s not that it can’t be done but it would be more cases to deal with and more strings to return. You can use components:fromDate:toDate:options: with whatever combination of date components you are looking for … Read more
You can convert unixTimestamp to date using Date(timeIntervalSince1970:). let unixTimestamp = 1480134638.0 let date = Date(timeIntervalSince1970: unixTimestamp) If you want to display date in string with specific formate than you can use DateFormatter like this way. let date = Date(timeIntervalSince1970: unixtimeInterval) let dateFormatter = DateFormatter() dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: “GMT”) //Set timezone that you want dateFormatter.locale … Read more
