In the previous examples, we have printed current date and time separately in iphone simulator. But in this example we are going to show you how to print both current date and current time in iphone.
The code is almost same...as in the previous current date example. The only difference is that we have changed in the format for example ...
earlier it was: [formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"]; in date example
and in current time, it was written as: [formatter setDateFormat:@"HH:MM:SS"];
Now to print combined result, it should be written like this: [formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:MM:SS"];
The output of the application will look like this:
Example Code:
datetimeAppDelegate.h
|
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h> @interface datetimeAppDelegate: NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> { UIWindow *window; IBOutlet UIButton *button; NSString *string; IBOutlet UILabel *dateLabel; } @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window; @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIButton *button; @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *dateLabel; @property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *string; -(IBAction)currentdate:(id)sender; @end datetimeAppDelegate.m #import "datetimeAppDelegate.h" @implementation datetimeAppDelegate; @synthesize window, button, string, dateLabel; -(IBAction)currentdate:(id)sender { NSDate* date = [NSDate date]; //Create the dateformatter object NSDateFormatter* formatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease]; //Set the required date format [formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:MM:SS"]; //Get the string date NSString* str = [formatter stringFromDate:date]; //Display on the console NSLog(str); //Set in the lable [dateLabel setText:str]; } - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application { // Override point for customization after application launch [window makeKeyAndVisible]; } - (void)dealloc { [dateLabel release]; [window release]; [button release]; [super dealloc]; } @end |
There is one more way to write the code to display the current date and time in phone application. please see the code given below...
-(IBAction)time:(id)sender;
{
NSDate *dateTime = [NSDate date];
NSString *clock = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%@", dateTime];
NSLog(clock);
[dateLabel setText:clock];
[clock release];
}
In this code, we have created a NSDate object and clock object to show the local time. "dateLabel" is a name of lable on which we are going to print the returned value. then release the clock.
