Subtract 7 days from current date

Question

It seems that I can\'t subtract 7 days from the current date. This is how i am doing it:

NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:N         


        

Answer 1

use dateByAddingTimeInterval method:

NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
NSDate *sevenDaysAgo = [now dateByAddingTimeInterval:-7*24*60*60];
NSLog(@"7 days ago: %@", sevenDaysAgo);

output:

7 days ago: 2012-04-11 11:35:38 +0000

Hope it helps
