1. 创建或初始化可用以下方法
用于创建NSDate实例的类方法有
+ (id)date;
返回当前时间
+ (id)dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:(NSTimeInterval)secs;
返回以当前时间为基准,然后过了secs秒的时间
+ (id)dateWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:(NSTimeInterval)secs;
返回以2001/01/01 GMT为基准,然后过了secs秒的时间
+ (id)dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:(NSTimeInterval)secs;
返回以1970/01/01 GMT为基准,然后过了secs秒的时间
+ (id)distantFuture;
返回很多年以后的未来的某一天。
比如你需要一个比现在(Now)晚(大)很长时间的时间值,则可以调用该方法。测试返回了4000/12/31 16:00:00
+ (id)distantPast;
返回很多年以前的某一天。
比如你需要一个比现在(Now)早(小)大很长时间的时间值,则可以调用该方法。测试返回了公元前0001/12/31 17:00:00
用于创建NSDate实例的实例方法有
- (id)addTimeInterval:(NSTimeInterval)secs;
返回以目前的实例中保存的时间为基准,然后过了secs秒的时间
用于初始化NSDate实例的实例方法有
- (id)init;
初始化为当前时间。类似date方法
- (id)initWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:(NSTimeInterval)secs;
初始化为以2001/01/01 GMT为基准,然后过了secs秒的时间。类似dateWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:方法
- (id)initWithTimeInterval:(NSTimeInterval)secs sinceDate:(NSDate *)refDate;
初始化为以refDate为基准,然后过了secs秒的时间
- (id)initWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:(NSTimeInterval)secs;
初始化为以当前时间为基准,然后过了secs秒的时间
2. 日期之间比较可用以下方法
- (BOOL)isEqualToDate:(NSDate *)otherDate;
与otherDate比较,相同返回YES
- (NSDate *)earlierDate:(NSDate *)anotherDate;
与anotherDate比较,返回较早的那个日期
- (NSDate *)laterDate:(NSDate *)anotherDate;
与anotherDate比较,返回较晚的那个日期
- (NSComparisonResult)compare:(NSDate *)other;
该方法用于排序时调用:
. 当实例保存的日期值与anotherDate相同时返回NSOrderedSame
. 当实例保存的日期值晚于anotherDate时返回NSOrderedDescending
. 当实例保存的日期值早于anotherDate时返回NSOrderedAscending
3. 取回时间间隔可用以下方法
- (NSTimeInterval)timeIntervalSinceDate:(NSDate *)refDate;
以refDate为基准时间,返回实例保存的时间与refDate的时间间隔
- (NSTimeInterval)timeIntervalSinceNow;
以当前时间(Now)为基准时间,返回实例保存的时间与当前时间(Now)的时间间隔
- (NSTimeInterval)timeIntervalSince1970;
以1970/01/01 GMT为基准时间,返回实例保存的时间与1970/01/01 GMT的时间间隔
- (NSTimeInterval)timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate;
以2001/01/01 GMT为基准时间,返回实例保存的时间与2001/01/01 GMT的时间间隔
+ (NSTimeInterval)timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate;
以2001/01/01 GMT为基准时间,返回当前时间(Now)与2001/01/01 GMT的时间间隔
4. 将时间表示成字符串
- (NSString *)description;
以YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS ±HHMM的格式表示时间。
其中 "±HHMM" 表示与GMT的存在多少小时多少分钟的时区差异。比如,若时区设置在北京,则 "±HHMM" 显示为 "+0800"
NSDateFormatter *formatter =[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] ;
NSDate *date = [NSDate date];
[formatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];
NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar] ;
NSDateComponents *comps = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
NSInteger unitFlags = NSYearCalendarUnit |
NSMonthCalendarUnit |
NSDayCalendarUnit |
NSWeekdayCalendarUnit |
NSHourCalendarUnit |
NSMinuteCalendarUnit |
NSSecondCalendarUnit;
//int week=0;
comps = [calendar components:unitFlags fromDate:date];
int weekk = [comps weekday];
int year=[comps year];
int month = [comps month];
int day = [comps day];
//[formatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];
//This sets the label with the updated time.
int hour = [comps hour];
int min = [comps minute];
int sec = [comps second];
NSLog(@"week%d",weekk);
NSLog(@"year%d",year);
NSLog(@"month%d",month);
NSLog(@"day%d",day);
NSLog(@"hour%d",hour);
NSLog(@"min%d",min);
NSLog(@"sec%d",sec);
