So I implemented a UIDatepicker in one of my applications for scheduling and autodialing teleconferences... everything is pretty much ready to go except, while testing I noticed that when the date rolls over from December 26th to December 27th, the year changes to 2010.
I even rolled it forward to 2011... and it changes when December 25th changes to the 26th.... but wait... in 2012, it correctly rolls over on December 31 - January 1... and then its back to 29th-30th in 2013. Is there some kind of astronomical phenomenon I am not aware of going on or does Apple run on some crazy Heechee calendar I don't know of? The calendar app works correctly...
The most likely explanation is I am missing something so obvious that I will slap myself when I realize it. But hey, I haven't slept in... wow I don't remember if its been two days or three. Take pity and help me out here.
UPDATE: So maybe it wasn't something simple. Still looking for an answer here! Am I really the only person who has experienced this?? I'll bet when the end of December rolls around, more people will hit the same roadblock.
UPDATE2: Anyone? Still looking, still not finding...
UPDATE3: Still haven't found a solution. Come on! This is an interesting puzzle!
UPDATE4: Still no answer found. I have submitted the app and it is now in the appstore. Would still like to see this problem solved so I can update the app.
There may be this problem, that when you are on the last week of the month and the week has fewer than 7 days left in current month, then perhaps the API treated the week as the first week of the next month. Since december of 2012 has already 7 days in its last week there is no problem in that month.
I was getting the same problem here, and I solved it.
- (int) currentWeekOfMonth
{
return CFCalendarGetOrdinalityOfUnit (
CFCalendarCopyCurrent(),
kCFCalendarUnitWeek,
kCFCalendarUnitMonth,
[self absoluteTime]);
}
my requirement is to show week number and for this i calculate the week number of first week of month and the add this to the total number of week in month.
int currentWeekNumberInYear = [_calendarInfo currentWeekOfYear];
int currentWeekNumberInMonth = [_calendarInfo currentWeekOfMonth];
currentWeekNumberInYear = currentWeekNumberInYear-currentWeekNumberInMonth +1;
currentWeekNumberInYear = currentWeekNumberInYear<0 ? (NSInteger)[_calendarInfo weeksInMonth] ==5 ?49:48 : currentWeekNumberInYear;
I hope it will be useful to you.
Turns out its the Date format string used to set up the NSDateFormatter that was causing this for me.
"yyyy" corresponds to the 4-digit year, while YYYY corresponds to the year starting from the Sunday of the 1st week of year. Why anyone would want this is anyone's guess, and it would really help if Apple provided a link to their list of format specifiers, but there you go.
Just make sure your format string has the year component in lowercase and it should be sorted.
This post on TUAW describes a similar problem in PhotoBooth on Mac OS X:

One commenter agrees with vikas that it's an end-of-week issue.

Anyone else having problems with this API? I have just recently started working with it but suddenly everything that was working both mine and others is no longer working, first the CSV interface and now the YQL interface. Surprised I don't see any mention of this on this board or a google search.
You can still back out the periods since the interval is in seconds (60*60*24), one day = 86,400.
The cookie is the problem. This is how I did it in VBA: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44055850/8027976
Example for period 1:
Dim baseDate As Date: baseDate = #1/1/1970#
Dim period1 As Long: period1 = (startDate - baseDate) * 86400
Dim period2 As Long: period2 = (endDate - baseDate + 0.8) * 86400
You need the ".8", otherwise, it will not pull the end-of-day price.
Yes, it's not working anymore. They changed the coding so now it reads something like
https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/IWM?period1=1492465014&period2=1495057014&interval=1d&events=history&crumb=oL864EniL6D
evidently they want to plant a cookie so it's not possible to automate it. Also there is no clear equivalence between the period1 and period2 numbers and the dates (in this case 5/17/2016 and 5/17/2017 respectively) so you couldn't even program the dates.
I am not sure why. I am grateful for the years of downloading data, and I would love to have this ability restored.
The periods seem to be the number of seconds between epoch and the start of the day in UTC. In JavaScript the way to compute the periods is as follows:
new Date(2017,4,18).valueOf()/1000 - new Date(2017,4,18).getTimezoneOffset()*60
For example I want the Image named "Something" to be displayed from 9:00 till 11:00. Then, Image will be changed, and a new Image "Something else" will be displayed from 11:00 till 13:00 and so on.
I found some related solutions : here and here, but they have an old syntax and a bit different purpose.
Could You help me please.
Thank You in advance.
Found the solution, when You are using calendar date components and using the switch for hour and minutes.
I have a spreadsheet that logs incoming answered and missed calls in Google Drive.
It is currently set to send an email every hour between 10am and 7pm.
Ideally I would like it to not send the email during the weekend.
Setting up each hour Monday to Friday uses too many triggers.
Is there a way to construct a trigger that will send an email every hour (10am to 7pm) only Monday to Friday?
I've read the documentation at Google and a few (unrelated as it turns out) examples on here and I am stumped!
I tried putting a load of trigger conditions together:
function autoSendHourly() {
ScriptApp.newTrigger("hourlyUpdate()")
.timeBased()
.onWeekDay(ScriptApp.WeekDay.MONDAY)
.onWeekDay(ScriptApp.WeekDay.TUESDAY)
.onWeekDay(ScriptApp.WeekDay.WEDNESDAY)
.onWeekDay(ScriptApp.WeekDay.THURSDAY)
.onWeekDay(ScriptApp.WeekDay.FRIDAY)
.atHour(10)
.atHour(11)
.atHour(12)
.atHour(13)
.atHour(14)
.atHour(15)
.atHour(16)
.atHour(17)
.atHour(18)
.atHour(19)
.create();
}
I wasn't entirely surprised that it didn't work, but I was mildly surprised that it threw up no errors.
Any help (including "you're mad it can't be done") would be greatly appreciated.
The simplest thing to do is use the create trigger like you did but for every hour every day and then in you handler function add a small piece of code that will return if day and time don't meet specific conditions like explained in this (old) post.
the code may look like something like this :
function officeHours(){
var nowH=new Date().getHours();
var nowD=new Date().getDay();
Logger.log('day : '+nowD+' Hours : '+nowH)
if(nowH>17||nowH<8||nowD==6||nowD==0){return}
Browser.msgBox('time to work !');//normally your real function should begin here...
}
I haven't messed around with java in awhile but this article might help.
Android: how to get the current day of the week (Monday, etc...) in the user's language?
If it was me, I would get the day of the week and check it in a switch. Then if it matches a week day call a function to check the time between 10am and 7pm.
Best of luck.
I'm having a lot of troubles playing with the facebook API recently:
I'm fetching start_time from an event and I get this:
2012-11-14T04:00:00+0000
Which is pacific time I think since the event occurs the 13th at 7pm in France (my timezone).
How do I convert this to my timezone?
PS:I use PHP
EDIT: I've found a work around that doesn't work all the time, I just write
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
before using the dates functions. But it doesn't work for some modified dates. Although I really think it comes from facebook... unfixable bug?
$time = '2012-11-14T04:00:00+0000';
$dt = new DateTime($time, new DateTimeZone('PST'));
$dt->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('CET'));
echo $dt->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'); // 2012-11-14 05:00:00
Facebook uses the ISO 8601 time format.
The +0000 at the end means it is UTC time not pacific time.
date_default_timezone_set('California');
Try California timezone. Works pretty good for me.
i am New to iphone Development .I Am Trying To Use NslocalNotification In My Project I Need To Give Remeinder For Every 2Hours or For Every Two Days Or For Every Two Months Etc..Currently I am Using NslocalNotification Repeat Interval .But Its Working For Only Every Minute For Every Hour using Nscalender ....
NSString *InterVal=[freQuencyArr objectAtIndex:index-2];
NSString *InterValType=[freQuencyArr objectAtIndex:index-1];
if(![InterVal isEqualToString:#"Every"])
{
result=[InterVal intValue];
}else
result=1;
if([InterValType isEqualToString:#"Day"]){
notification.repeatInterval= NSDayCalendarUnit;
}else if([InterValType isEqualToString:#"Week"]){
notification.repeatInterval= NSWeekCalendarUnit;
}
else if([InterValType isEqualToString:#"Month"]){
notification.repeatInterval= NSMonthCalendarUnit;
}else if([InterValType isEqualToString:#"days"]){
notification.repeatInterval=result*24*60*60;
}
here If result is 2 depend Up on IntervalType I Need Notification
its Not Working With Me
if([InterValType isEqualToString:#"days"]){
notification.repeatInterval=result*24*60*60;
}
#Srinivas:
If you look at the link I have posted in this answer, You will come to know that I have tried every possible solution here to try and do what you want currently.
I had tried all this to implement it in my app, but this doesn't work.
I am afraid to say this but this is not possible. It only allows the unit NSCalendarUnit objects to be set as a repeat interval.
I invested almost 2 months (I asked the question in Dec 2010 and answered it myself in February 2011) to try and implement every possible solution available on internet through different articles and different forums but none did help.
Check out my link and lookout for all the answers if something is useful to you.
How to set Local Notification repeat interval to custom time interval?
Really Hope that this helps you.
The repeatInterval property of a UILocalNotification cannot be used to repeat less than every one calendar unit, i.e. every day, every week, every month, etc.
Instead, you will have to schedule multiple notifications to achieve the desired effect, setting the fireDate property accordingly.
As lemnar says you are unable to use repeatInterval to repeat in a frequency different from the calendar units Apple provided. So, the code below:
if([InterValType isEqualToString:#"days"]){
notification.repeatInterval=result*24*60*60;
}
Will not do anything. I am also using repeat notifications in an app that I have built and the way I've gotten around this is by creating multiple notifications each repeating to give the "desired" repeat frequency. As an example, if I want to repeat "every 2 days", I can't do this using repeatInterval. However, I have a "scheduling function" in my app that creates multiple individual notifications to achieve this. I do this going out an arbitrary length of time (in my case, one week). So in the example above, when the user specifies that he / she needs a notification every two days from today, I create 3 notifications (one each for day 3, 5, and 7).
For repeating at a frequency less than a calendar unit, things are a little easier. Say I need to repeat every 12 hours (at 6AM and 6PM). Then, I would create 2 notifications (one for 6AM and another for 6PM). I would then set the repeatInterval for each of these notifications to NSDayCalendarUnit. This way I have created a set of notifications that repeat every 12 hours.
When my app loads, I go out another 7 days and recreate notifications as needed. Not the most elegant solution, but this was the best way I could think of getting around the repeatInterval limitation.
