I am sure I am just missing something. But I have googled this for days trying to find how to show a 4 digit year when displaying an NSDate with a style of NSDateFormatterShortStyle. Please let me know if you have a solution. Here is the code I am using now.
[NSDateFormatter setDefaultFormatterBehavior:NSDateFormatterBehavior10_4];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease ];
[dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
[dateFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle];
// add label for birth
UILabel *birthday = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(125, 10, 100, 25)];
birthday.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentRight;
birthday.tag = kLabelTag;
birthday.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:14];
birthday.textColor = [UIColor grayColor];
birthday.text = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:p.Birth];
From stackoverflow
-
kCFDateFormatterShortStyle Specifies a short style, typically numeric only, such as “11/23/37” or “3:30pm”.
Available in Mac OS X v10.3 and later.
Declared in CFDateFormatter.h.
NSDateFormatterShortStyle doesn't appear to give you 4 digit years.
Dave : this is kind of my point. there is no format that is month/day/year that gives 4 digit years. if i put in a format, i lose localization. this is my frustration. -
If you need four digit years, set the
dateformat:using the exact format you'd like. The downside is you lose automatic locale formatting.NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease]; [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"]; ... birthday.text = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:p.Birth];If you need localization then you could try modifying the date format of the sort style.
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease ]; [dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle]; [dateFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle]; NSString *fourDigitYearFormat = [[dateFormatter dateFormat] stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"yy" withString:"yyyy"] [dateFormatter setDateFormat:fourDigitYearFormat];Dave : thanks but I need it localized
