Retrieving date and time from UIDatePicker iOS

Question

I want to get the date and time in the format, for example, "Friday May 31, 2013 12:00." How can I achieve this using NSDateFormatter?

Answer 1

NSDate *myDate = datePicker.date; NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [dateFormat setDateFormat:@"cccc, MMM d, hh:mm aa"]; NSString *prettyVersion = [dateFormat stringFromDate:myDate];
