I am using the NSDateFormatter's dateFromString, yet when it is given the string '2013-03-06' it spits out an NSDate of '2012-03-06 00:00:00 CST'. The time is of no importance. I have the date format set to be exactly the same between the input and output.
I have an object which gets a date set using the code:
NSDateFormatter* dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
NSDate* currentDate = [[NSDate alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"YYYY-MM-dd"];
[self setMyValue:[dateFormat stringFromDate:currentDate]];
And then this value is later used to to set the date on a UIDatePicker:
NSDate *date = [[[NSDate alloc] init] autorelease];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"YYYY-MM-dd"];
date = [dateFormat dateFromString:myFilter.myValue];
[datePicker setDate:date animated:YES];
Any pointers on where I am erring would be much appreciated.
