How to convert string data into date format in ios?

Question

In my app, i am taking date and time in to string " 2013-06-11 10:15:00 +0000 " like this, but how can i convert this string into date format. I tried like below code but i am getting error in converting.

NSString *string=@"03-05-2014";

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy"];
NSDate *dateFromString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:string];

Would you please help me in this problem?

Answer 1

Try to do this:

NSDateFormatter* f = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
[f setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"];

NSDate *dateFromString = [f dateFromString:string];

You have to set the same date format in which the (string or date)contains, otherwise the date is returned by NSDateFormatter will be nil.

You can Use NSCalender Like this.....

NSCalendar *currentCalendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];

NSString *urDateString=@"2013-06-11 10:15:00 +0000";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];
NSString *strDate = [urDateString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"+0000" withString:@""];
NSDate *dateString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:strDate];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM-DD-yyyy"];
NSString *formattedDateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:dateString];
NSLog(@"%@",formattedDateString);
