I have a NSString (ex. “2011-04-12 19:23:39”), and what I did to format it to a NSDate was the following:
[inputFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];
NSDate *date = [inputFormatter dateFromString:newDateString];
but what it outputs when I nslog the date is this:
2011-04-12 23:23:39 +0000
which is about 4 hours off. Is there something I missed? Possibly a time zone problem?
NSDateFormatter use the current device timezone when it created the NSDate object. NSDate stores the date/time in GMT. Therefore by default NSLog will output the date/time in GMT+0. So, there’s nothing wrong with your code. Now if you want to output the NSDate to your current timezone, your will have to use a NSDateFormatter object.
