Question

my question is simple, i want to load a UIImage from an URL, but this URL change programmatically by date.

Example Today the url is http://www.abc.com/2011-10-13/alfa.jpg

tomorrow is http://www.abc.com/2011-10-14/alfa.jpg

the only thing that change is the date part, how can i figure my app load that “alfa.jpg” at current date everytime i start it?

Thanks!

You should use [NSDate date] which returns the current date and time according to the device time (assuming your device time doesn’t differ from the actual by more than a day). Then you should format the date according to your url. Something like-

NSDateFormatter* formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"];
NSString* dateString = [formatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
[formatter release];
