I have a UIDatePicker
and I m getting the selected date from it in yyyy-MM-dd
format.Now I want to convert it to MM/dd/yyyy
format ..How can i do it ?
NSDateFormatter *df=[[[NSDateFormatter alloc]init] autorelease];
df.dateFormat = @"yyyy-MM-dd";
NSArray *temp=[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[df stringFromDate:DatePicker.date]] componentsSeparatedByString:@""];
[dateString2 release];
dateString2=nil;
dateString2= [[NSString alloc]initWithString:[temp objectAtIndex:0]];
NSLog(@"%@",dateString2);
Im getting 2012-10-30 but I want 10/30/2012.
See Instruction or introduction with every line
NSString *str = @"2012-10-30"; /// here this is your date with format yyyy-MM-dd
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease]; // here we create NSDateFormatter object for change the Format of date..
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"]; //// here set format of date which is in your output date (means above str with format)
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString: str]; // here you can fetch date from string with define format
dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd/MM/yyyy"];// here set format which you want...
NSString *convertedString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date]; //here convert date in NSString
NSLog(@"Converted String : %@",convertedString);
