Question

I have a .NET REST service which returns data in JSON format. One field is date time in UTC which looks like this:

"Synced":"2012-07-11T13:28:42.967"

I am tring to get this date in my iOS application, but every time I try I get null:

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [NSDateFormatter new];
[dateFormatter  setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"];
dateFormatter.timeZone = [NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"UTC"];
NSArray *dateFormatters = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:dateFormatter, nil];
[RKObjectMapping setDefaultDateFormatters:dateFormatters];

What I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Answer 1

try this:

 NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
 [dateFormatter  setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS"];
 dateFormatter.timeZone = [NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"UTC"];
 NSString *str = @"2012-07-11T13:28:42.967";
 //NSArray *dateFormatters = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:dateFormatter, nil];
 NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:str];
