Question

I use date picker and I set its mode to be

pickerView.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate ;

when select august 3o, 2011

to display It I use

NSDate * selected = [pickerView date];
NSString * date = [selected description];
DateLabel.text = date;

the output is 2011-08-29 21:00:00:00 + 0000

any suggestion on how to display the correct date only

Answer 1

Have a look at the NSDateFormatter class.

try using:

NSDate *selected = [pickerView date];

NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setTimeStyle:kCFDateFormatterNoStyle];
[formatter setDateStyle: kCFDateFormatterShortStyle];

NSString *date = [formatter stringFromDate:selected];
[formatter release];
