Swift: How to display one of the two Images depending of the current time of the day

Question

I have images named open and close, which are displayed according to the store timings. According to Indian Standard time the store timings are 11Am to 11PM, during this time I want to display the open image and closed image in the remaining time. Can someone help me how to do it. Thanks.

Answer 1

First of all, get current time in hours (it is 24 hour format)

let date = NSDate()
let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
let components = calendar.components([.Hour], fromDate: date)
let hour = components.hour

Then check for time

if hour >= 11 && hour <= 22 {
    // show open image
}
else {
    // show close image
}

Answer 2

var component: NSDateComponents = NSCalendar.currentCalendar().components([.Hour, .Minute], fromDate: currentDate)
var strStoreStatus: String = (component.hour() >= 11 && component.hour() <= 22) ? "OPEN" : "CLOSE"
