Getting current time

Question

I\'m trying to get current hour minutes and seconds. Here is the code I use

NSDate *now = [NSDate date];

NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar  alloc]initWithCal         


        

Answer 1

Just doing

    NSDate *datenow = [NSDate date];

you will have the current date and time, to generate string representations of a date, you should use an instance of NSDateFormatter.

Answer 2

NSDateComponents *components = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSHourCalendarUnit | NSMinuteCalendarUnit | NSSecondCalendarUnit fromDate:[NSDate date]]; 

NSInteger hour= [components hour];   
NSInteger minute = [components minute];
NSInteger second = [components second]; 

Answer 3

When i run the code it works fine here.

what's the following line in your code ? Are you sure that it crashes on the third line in the code you pasted ? maybe the code you pasted is not the same than the one in your xcode.

Edit : it's because you're using %@ in your string which belongs to UTF-8 string. [dateComponents hour] etc. are returning NSInteger, so you should use %d instead.
