You want NSDateComponentsFormatter: /* NSDateComponentsFormatter provides locale-correct and flexible string formatting of quantities of time, such as "1 day" or "1h 10m", as specified by

Hi Dave I seem to remember using NSCalendatDate and the descriptionWithCalendarFormat: method to get what you want. NSCalendarDate is now deprecated - the docs advocate the use of NSDate,

Nope. This is due to the way CF bridging works — the magic class __NSCFArray (?) is bridged to CFArray and CFMutableArray. To support mutable arrays, that means __NSCFArray has to subclass

I was trying to add an object to an array and got an exception saying that I was trying to modify an immutable object. I set a breakpoint just before the addObject: line, and said to lldb po

No ideas about this? I have an iOS app that's giving me a pain. One view hierarchy has a scroll view, page view, and other views. The storyboard has 3 gesture recognizers scattered among a couple of

I have an iOS app that's giving me a pain. One view hierarchy has a scroll view, page view, and other views. The storyboard has 3 gesture recognizers scattered among a couple of the view controllers.

Hi: Previously, you could drag and drop from the Mac desktop over an app in iOS Simulator, and if the app was set up for that file extension, it would open the app and open the file through the

Aha! No, it was not. It does now and I’m getting flagsChanged. I guess that makes sense that the OS only sends those to the firstResponder. Thanks for your hunch. Extending your suggestion, I added

Does your control actually become first responder? That might be necessary for flagsChanged: to go to your control. A less than perfect option would be to poll the modifier flags on mouse

They wanted the number of weeks - I didn’t ask questions, plus the Total Number of Weeks and Total Number of days. Cheers Dave

*snip* I'm not sure why you needed to reinvent the wheel when NSCalendar and NSDateComponents already does this via: -(NSDateComponents*) components:(NSCalendarUnit)unitFlags

Hi, As far as I know I don’t have to worry about leap years, get the Interval between now and some future date, this includes all the leap years in between. I am displaying it at the moment by

If he has a time interval, why not just use NSDateComponentsFormatter's -stringFromTimeInterval:? Either way, be aware that NSDateComponentsFormatter doesn't cope with an interval of 2^32 or above.

Sorry, forgot the last part. After you get the components using the calendar you wish to use with your two dates, then call NSDateComponentsFormatter. For a simple case, you could get by with: +

Ooops, I’m wrong... Leap year complications should be part of the time interval and be ignored. My programming history got the better of my knowledge... the first ever COBOL program I wrote

Use NSCalendar’s method: - (NSDateComponents *)components:(NSCalendarUnit)unitFlags fromDate:(NSDate *)startingDate toDate:(NSDate *)resultDate options:(NSCalendarOptions)opts; -- Gary L.

Can not be done accurately using only a Time Interval in seconds. You also need either the start or end date to figure out leap year complications. Don’t know of any. I’d probably roll my

There's NSDateComponentsFormatter, although it's fairly limited. -- Shane Stanley <sstanley@...> <www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/apps/>, <latenightsw.com>

Look at the NSDate and NSDateFormatter classes. -Owen

Objective-C, Mac. Hi, I’m trying to display a countdown to a date in the future e.g. the number of years, weeks and days to 1/1/2021. I have the Time Interval between now and the future date in
