How to get the time in am/pm format iphone NSDateFormatter?

If your time format is in 24hrs please use "HH:mm:ss" format. Please test the code and let me know if it is working for you. I have tested and it is returning "4 PM"

NSString *dats1 = @"16:00:00"; NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease]; [dateFormatter3 setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];   [dateFormatter3 setDateFormat:@"HH:mm:ss"];  NSDate *date1 = [dateFormatter3 dateFromString:dats1]; NSLog(@"date1 : %@", date1); **// Here returning (null)** [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"hh:mm a"]; NSLog(@"Current Date: %@", [formatter stringFromDate:date1]); **// Here also returning (null)** [formatter release];

Thanks.

You can use the .ShortStyle which will adapt to the current locale:

let timeFormatter = NSDateFormatter()timeFormatter.dateStyle = .NoStyletimeFormatter.timeStyle = .ShortStyletimeFormatter.stringFromDate(NSDate())

Which returns 17:12 or 5:12 PM depending on the current device locale.

Why are you again allocating the NSDateFormatter ?

you Just need to format it to NSDate and then again to NSString,

    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"HH:mm:ss"];    NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dats1];    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"hh:mm a"];    NSString *formattedDate = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];    NSLog(@"%@",formattedDate);
