Question

My app freezes when I tap a row, here is the code for didSelectRowAtIndexPath, the stringDate is equal to a string like this: Feb 4.

EditView *editController = [[EditView alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:editController animated:YES];

NSDictionary *cellValue = [self.array objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
editController.savedString = [cellValue objectForKey:@"label"];

NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
NSString *stringDate = [cellValue valueForKey:@"date"];

NSDate *parsedDate = [df dateFromString:stringDate];
editController.savedDate = parsedDate;

[editController release];

[self.tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];

I get this error when tapping the row, on the line NSString *stringDate = [cellValue valueForKey:@"date"]; with this error:

* Terminating app due to uncaught exception ‘NSInternalInconsistencyException’, reason: ‘Invalid parameter not satisfying: date’

UPDATE: The parsed date is set to a UIDatePicker with date & time mode, and I am simply converting the string date to a NSDate to be used with [timePicker setDate:savedDate animated:YES];

I created cellValue as a NSDictionary which basically accesses a plist where I created a NSDictionary and then wrote it with a formatted NSString. And array displays the plist array, so I can access it using [cellValue objectForKey:@"date"]

NSDictionary *cellValue = [self.array objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];

You need to teach the formatter the format your string fulfills

It should be something like:

NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[df setDateFormat:@"MMM d"];
