Question

In my app, want to get the day (i.e. Sunday, Monday,etc.) from the date.

My code is as follow:

NSDate *currentDate = [NSDat         


        

Answer 1

 NSCalendar* calender = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];

 NSDateComponents* component = [calender components:NSWeekdayCalendarUnit fromDate:[NSDate date]];

int weekDay = [component weekday];

NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
NSString *weekdayString = [[formatter weekdaySymbols] objectAtIndex:weekDay - 1];

NSLog(@"Day ::: %@", weekdayString);
