UTC和GMT的转换 以及时间差的计算

- (NSString*)localDateStringForISODateTimeString:(NSString*)ISOString
{
  // Configure the ISO formatter
  NSDateFormatter* isoDateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
  [isoDateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'"];
  [isoDateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"UTC"]];

  // Configure user local formatter (configure this for how you want
  // your user to see the date string)
  NSDateFormatter* userFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
  [userFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"];

  // Convert the string -- this date can now also just be used
  // as the correct date object for other calculations and/or
  // comparisons
  NSDate* date = [isoDateFormatter dateFromString:ISOString];

  // Return the string in the user's locale and time zone
  return [userFormatter stringFromDate:date];
}

 从服务器获取的时间是UTC格式需要转岛GMT 使用上面的方法，然后进行GMT的时间差计算

- (NSString *)intervalSinceNow: (NSString *) theDate 
{
    
    NSDateFormatter *date=[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [date setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];
    NSDate *d=[date dateFromString:theDate];
    
    NSTimeInterval late=[d timeIntervalSince1970]*1;
    
    
    NSDate* dat = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:0];
    NSTimeInterval now=[dat timeIntervalSince1970]*1;
    NSString *timeString=@"";
    
    NSTimeInterval cha=now-late;
    
    if (cha/3600<1) {
        timeString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f", cha/60];
        timeString = [timeString substringToIndex:timeString.length-7];
        timeString=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@分钟前", timeString];
        
    }
    if (cha/3600>1&&cha/86400<1) {
        timeString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f", cha/3600];
        timeString = [timeString substringToIndex:timeString.length-7];
        timeString=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@小时前", timeString];
    }
    if (cha/86400>1)
    {
        timeString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f", cha/86400];
        timeString = [timeString substringToIndex:timeString.length-7];
        timeString=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@天前", timeString];
        
    }
    [date release];
    return timeString;
}
