Convert date in MM/dd/yyyy format in xcode?

问题:

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.

回答1:

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);

回答2:

df.dateFormat = @"MM/dd/yyyy";

回答3:

NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
[formatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];

回答4:

Just to see how it ends up:

NSDateFormatter* df = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc]init] autorelease];
df.dateFormat = @"MM/dd/yyyy";
NSString* dateString = [df stringFromDate:datePicker.date];  // Don't use leading caps on variables
NSLog(@"%@", dateString);

回答5:

NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];    
[formatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];

The original accepted answer does a few things extra:

1) It allocates two NSDateFormatter instances which is not required. NSDateFormatter is expensive to create.

2) It is better to release date formatters explicitly when you are done with them rather than a deferred release using autorelease.

//get datepicker date (NSDate *)
NSDate *datePickerDate = [myDatePicker date];

//create a date formatter
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; 

//set its format as the required output format
[formatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];

//get the output date as string
NSString *outputDateString = [formatter stringFromDate:datePickerDate];

//release formatter
[formatter release];

回答7:

- (void)showTime {
   NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
   NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [NSDateFormatter new];
   [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"HH:mm:ss"];
   // you label
   _time.text = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:now]; 
}

- (void)showDate {
   NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
   NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [NSDateFormatter new];
   [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];
   // you label
   _date.text = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:now];
}

- (void)viewDidLoad {
   [super viewDidLoad];
    self.showTime;
    self.showDate;
}

Enjoy

I use a code with options NSISO8601DateFormatWithDashSeparatorInDate:

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
NSString * stringformat = [NSDateFormatter dateFormatFromTemplate:@"MMddy" options:NSISO8601DateFormatWithDashSeparatorInDate locale:[NSLocale systemLocale]];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:stringformat];

NSDate *d = [NSDate date]; // or set your date
NSLog(@"date in format %@",  [dateFormatter stringFromDate:d]); // date in format 2018-06-20
