Convert milliseconds to NSDate

Question

I have this \"1273636800000\" and I want to convert it to this format \"Wed Mar 03 2010 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (EST)\"

I need to convert this milliseconds to NSDate forma

Answer 1

A simple one-line Swift 2 function:

func dateFromMilliseconds(ms: NSNumber) -> NSDate {
    return NSDate(timeIntervalSince1970:Double(ms) / 1000.0)
}

Answer 2

Divide by 1000 to get millis in seconds, that's what you want.

Answer 3

These functions (dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970, dateWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate, dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow) accept parameter in seconds.

NSDate *date = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:(ms / 1000.0)];

You should pass 1273636800.000

NSDate *date = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:(1273636800 / 1000.0)];
