I want to make an NSDateFormatter
object for this date format (for example):
2016-04-15 15:00:00
I've tried yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
but then when I am trying to attach it to a date like that:
date = [formatter dateFromString:dateString];
It gives me nil
.
what is the correct way to do it?
Thank you!
set date format as
2016-04-15 15:00:00
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
your date string is 24 hour format
Here's all you need for date formatting:

There's a list of link under the Fixed Format title where you can see in detail the different formats for whatever you want, for iOS7 and greater see this:
