The new month of Feburary date continues to count up from January. So instead of showing Feburary 1St, it's showing Feburary 32 Like the picture below, any help would be appreciated thanks.
This is how I am getting the current date:
let date = Date()
let format = DateFormatter()
format.dateFormat = "EE, MMM DD, YYYY"
let currentDate = format.string(from: date)
header.headerTitle.text = currentDate
This is the result Feburary 32, 2018
Change "EE, MMM DD, YYYY" to "EE, MMM dd, yyyy" (or maybe just one d) and next time please try to read up on how date formatters work before trying to use them:

I am facing issue while formatting the date to custom format.
I need to convert date yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss ===> EEEE, MMM dd, yyyy
For example I am getting date from server 27-10-2022 11:02:50, and I need to convert it to Thursday, October 27, 2022
Getting Date format is "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss" and the desire format will be "EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy"
final data = "27-10-2022 11:02:50";
final format = DateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
final DateTime result = format.parse(data);
print(result); //2022-10-27 11:02:50.000
final newFormatter = DateFormat("EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy");
final newFormatString = newFormatter.format(result);
print(newFormatString); // Thursday, October 27, 2022
I am using intl package
Just checked in flutter docs. Your date format is not good. For converting string to date.
The following date format is required,
"2012-02-27 13:27:00"
"2012-02-27 13:27:00.123456789z"
"2012-02-27 13:27:00,123456789z"
"20120227 13:27:00"
"20120227T132700"
"20120227"
"+20120227"
"2012-02-27T14Z"
"2012-02-27T14+00:00"
"-123450101 00:00:00 Z": in the year -12345.
"2002-02-27T14:00:00-0500": Same as "2002-02-27T19:00:00Z"
And you can convert that into the format like below
var date1 = DateFormat('dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss').parse("27-10-2022 11:02:50");
var date2 = DateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss').format(date1);
print( DateFormat('EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy').format(date2));
please try this, hope you will get the idea,
print(DateFormat('dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss').parse('27-10-2022 11:02:50'));
I'm trying to do some date manipulation with Swift and I'm getting an unexpected result. The webservice will pass in a string date, and then I want to get that month and the previous month. I'm using this code (with input grab and such removed):
import Foundation
let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX")
formatter.timeZone = TimeZone(identifier: "America/New_York")
formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
let date = formatter.date(from: "2018-12-01")!
let prev = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .month, value: -1, to: date)!
formatter.string(from: date)
formatter.string(from: prev)
So I've got a valid date, and then I subtract a month from it. The first formatted date shows my expected 2018-12-01 but then on the second line, instead of saying 2018-11-01 it says 2018-10-31.
I'm in PST, which is of course 3 hours ahead of EST. If I add 3 hours I'd get the expected strings. However, since both the input and the output strings were done with a formatter using the timezone, why don't I get the expected output?
The problem is that Calendar.current is in a different timezone (for you) than the formatter.
So date is December 1, 2018 at midnight New York time. But that is November 30, 2018 at 9pm local time (PST) for you.
When you subtract one month it is done in local time (Calendar.current) so you get October 30, 2018 at 9pm. Then you format that date to New York time and it results in October 31, 2018 at midnight.
To get the proper results you want a Calendar in the same timezone as the formatter:
var cal = Calendar(identifier: Calendar.current.identifier)
cal.timeZone = formatter.timeZone
let prev = cal.date(byAdding: .month, value: -1, to: date)!
This will give the expected result.
I want to display the date in this format (Wed Jan 10 2018 11:20:17). How to convert milliseconds to this format in swift?I want to get the day as Wed, time as 10:30 AM or PM and the date as 10 Jan.
First convert it in date by dividing it by 1000
var date = Date(timeIntervalSince1970: (1477593000000 / 1000.0))
then use DateFormatter to convert in desired format you need
Note: Not tested in XCODE
var dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "E, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss"
print(dateFormatter.string(from: date))
Hope it is helpful to you.
I have a textfield connected to a date picker
I am then trying to store the selected date into core data,
My log off the date picked by the user seems ok:
2016-01-29 00:00:00 +0000 [I strip the time component with some code]
This is converted into a String and displayed in the textfield called startDate.
func handleDatePicker(sender: UIDatePicker) {
let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "EEE, dd MMM YYYY"
startDate.text = dateFormatter.stringFromDate(sender.date)
}
Now the strange thing is that when I try and store this into CoreData and convert the string back into a date (the attribute I am saving it into is configured as a Date)
let cont = self.context
let newCustomer = NSEntityDescription.entityForName("Customer", inManagedObjectContext: cont)
let aCust = Customer(entity: newCustomer!, insertIntoManagedObjectContext: cont)
let DF = NSDateFormatter()
DF.dateFormat = "EEE, dd MMM YYYY"
aCust.c15das = DF.dateFromString(startDate.text!)
print("Saved Date: \(DF.dateFromString(startDate.text!))")
Now the log prints out:
2015-12-25 00:00:00 +0000
Why the difference? How can I stop this happening?
Sorry if its something obvious that I am not spotting.
"EEE, dd MMM YYYY" -> YYYY: "Week of Year Calendar", aka "ISO Week Date System". The first week does not start on the first January. If the January 1st is either Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, the whole week is the first week of the new year. if it is Friday, Saturday or Sunday the week is the 53rd week of the last year. So this is a calendar with year that only have integral weeks. Either 52 or 53, rather than 365 or 366 days.
In this calendar January 29th would be the 5th day of the 4th week of the year 2016 — 2016-W4-5. This system does not know months and therefor your date is nonsense.
You want "EEE, dd MMM yyyy", as yyyy indicates a year that starts on 1st of January and ends after 31st of December — The Gregorian Year.
[I strip the time component with some code]
You shouldn't do that. Rather NSCalendar's method to get a date at the beginning of the day.
var today: NSDate?
cal.rangeOfUnit(.Day, startDate: &today, interval: nil, forDate: date)
Try this code, that worked for me:
let dateString = "Fri, 29 Jan 2016" // change to your date format
let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "EEE, dd MMM yyyy"
dateFormatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone(name: "UTC")
let date = dateFormatter.dateFromString(dateString)
print(date!)
I'm trying to convert string to Date, but it result incorrect date.
let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd MMM YYYY"
let dt = dateFormatter.dateFromString("17 Sep 2015")
println("Date : \(dt)")
It result
Date : Optional(2014-12-20 18:30:00 +0000)
Please let me know where I'm making mistake. I tried other format too, but it return nil.
The format for year is incorrect, it should be yyyy, not YYYY.
"Y": Year (in "Week of Year" based calendars). This year designation is used in ISO year-week calendar as defined by ISO 8601, but can be used in non-Gregorian based calendar systems where week date processing is desired. May not always be the same value as calendar year.
See: Date Field SymbolTable.
Also: ICU Formatting Dates and Times
Your date format string is wrong. Change it to the following:
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd MMM yyyy"
