Question

is there any way to create events for NSDate ? here is my code

    NSDate *date = [NSDate date];       
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MMMM d, yyyy"];
    NSString *dateStr = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date]; 
    myDate.text = dateStr;

for example if date = 12 FEB ;
myDate .text = @”Mother Day”;

something like this

Answer 1

sure it is. You have to split the date into day and month using NSDateComponents

You could write a method like this:

- (BOOL)date:(NSDate *)date isSameAsDay:(NSInteger)day andMonth:(NSInteger)month {
    NSUInteger dateFlags = NSDayCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit;
    NSDateComponents *components = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:dateFlags fromDate:date];
    if ([components day] == day && [components month] == month) {
        return YES;
    }
    return NO;
}

and you would use it like this

if ([self date:[NSDate date] isSameAsDay:12 andMonth:2]) {
   myDate.text = @"Mother Day";
}
