NSDate *currentTime = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"hh:mm"];
NSString *resultString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate: currentTime];
NSDate* firstDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:resultString];
NSDate* secondDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"16:00"];
NSTimeInterval timeDifference = [secondDate timeIntervalSinceDate:firstDate];
if (timeDifference < 0){
I'm trying to retrieve the current time and compare it with an input time. This is part of my code as of now (objective c for iOS), but NSTimeInterval causes a breakpoint. As an addition to this I would also like to incorporate the date into the comparison, so if it's after 5:00pm on Tuesday an event would occur. So if you have any ideas on how to incorporate that as well it would be greatly appreciated!
To compare two dates:
if ([firstDate compare:secondDate] == NSOrderedDescending) {
NSLog(@"firstDate is later than secondDate");
NSTimeInterval timeDifference = [firstDate timeIntervalSinceDate:secondDate];
} else if ([firstDate compare:secondDate] == NSOrderedAscending) {
NSLog(@"firstDate is earlier than secondDate");
NSTimeInterval timeDifference = [secondDate timeIntervalSinceDate:firstDate];
} else {
NSLog(@"firstDate and secondDate are the same");
}
This should solve your problems.
NSDate *currentTime = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"hh:mm"];
NSString *resultString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate: currentTime];
NSDate* firstDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:resultString];
NSDate* secondDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"16:00"];
NSComparisonResult result = [secondDate compare:firstDate];
switch(result){
case NSOrderedDescending:
NSLog(@"date1 is later than date2");
break;
case NSOrderedAscending:
NSLog(@"date1 is earlier than date2");
break;
default:
NSLog(@"dates are the same");
break;
}
