Convert a NSString to a NSDate

Question

I have a NSString like this 05/09/2015 then I want to convert it into this format 2014-07-28 18:30:00 +0000

that second date was the one that I get from the system date. That date can be placed nicely on Tapku calender. but my string is the first one. I want to convert that 1st date just like as the date format that im getting from the system date. How can I do that.

Please help me. Thanks

NSString to NSDate

NSString *dateString = @"01-02-2010";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
// this is imporant - we set our input date format to match our input string
// if format doesn't match you'll get nil from your string, so be careful
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy"];
NSDate *dateFromString = [[NSDate alloc] init];
// voila!
dateFromString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];

NSDateFormatter *otherFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[otherFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"];
//[otherFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];

NSString *resultString = [otherFormatter stringFromDate:dateFromString];
NSLog(@"%@", resultString);

And then you can convert it back to an NSDate or keep as an NSString.
