Question

I have an NSDate object with value for example: "2011-08-26 14:14:51", I want to display "8 August 2011" how to implement it? Thanks.

Answer 1

NSDate *date = [NSDate date]; //I'm using this just to show the this is how you convert a date

NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[df setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterLongStyle]; // day, Full month and year
[df setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle];  // nothing

NSString *dateString = [df stringFromDate:date]; [df release];

Answer 2

NSDateFormatter *df = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
[df setDateFormat:@"dd LLLL yyyy"];
NSString *formattedDate = [df stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];

Answer 3

NSString *dateStr = @"2011-08-26 14:14:51";

//if you have date then, 
NSString *dateStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",yourDate];



NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:dateStr];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"MMMM dd, YYYY"];
NSString* temp = [dateFormat stringFromDate:date];

[dateFormat release];



NSLog(@"%@",temp);
