nsdatecomponents

I have to send a DDMMYYY date from a Date to communicate with an API. NSDateComponents *dateComponents; NSCalendar *gregorian; NSDate *date; gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar]; dateComponents = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init]; self.date = [gregorian dateByAddingComponents:dateComponents toDate:[NSDate date] options:0]; Do I have to use the [dateComponents day] and so on? is there some method that can help me to performing that task like in PHP? Try this NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@

I have this subset of a method that needs to get day one of the current month. NSDate *today = [NSDate date]; // returns correctly 28 february 2013 NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar]; NSDateComponents *components = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init]; components.day = 1; NSDate *dayOneInCurrentMonth = [gregorian dateByAddingComponents:components toDate:today options:0]; dayOneInCurrentMonth then prints out 2013-03-01 09:53:49 +0000 , the first day of the next month. How do I get day one of the current month? Your logic is wrong: Instead of

I have two date string and I wanted to get the in between dates. For example, NSString *startDate = @"25-01-2014"; NSString *endDate = @"02-02-2014"; In between dates will be (26-01-2014, 27-01-2014, 28-01-2014.......) preferably include startDate and endDate as well. Most of the question I managed to find asked for number of days. But I needed it to be actual date. Is there anyway that I can get the in between dates? NSString *start = @"2010-09-01"; NSString *end = @"2010-12-05"; NSDateFormatter *f = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [f setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"]; NSDate *startDate = [f

Why is this giving me the wrong date ? NSCalendar *myCalendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier: NSGregorianCalendar]; NSDateComponents* components = [myCalendar components:NSYearCalendarUnit|NSMonthCalendarUnit|NSDayCalendarUnit fromDate:[NSDate date]]; [components setYear:2013]; [components setMonth:06]; [components setDay:28]; [components setHour:5]; [components setMinute:00]; NSDate *startDate1 = [myCalendar dateFromComponents:components]; NSLog(@"start date is %@",startDate1); start date is 2013-06-28 03:00:00 +0000 EDIT What I want to do is the following. I have a start

so i am making a basic week picker, where you can pick a week number and year, and get the corresponding date from the weeks startpoint. A basic test scenario let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar() let components = NSDateComponents() components.year = 2015 components.weekOfYear = 15 print(calendar.dateFromComponents(components)!) You can see, that i set the wanted year to 2015 and the wanted week to 15, but the result i get is: "2014-12-31 23:00:00 +0000" ... and thats really gets me hanging. No matter what week and year i choose, it will always be off and in december. Thank you in
