I am trying to convert fajerTime to NSDate. When I compile the project the dateValue is nil. Any idea how to fix this issue?
if prayerCommingFromAdan.id == 0 && prayerCommingFromAdan.ringToneId != 0{
// NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: #selector(YourClassName.methodOfReceivedNotification(_:)), name:"NotificationIdentifier", object: nil)
let fajerTime = "\(prayer0.time[0...1]):\(prayer0.time[3...4])" as String
var dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MM-dd-yyyy"
dateFormatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone.localTimeZone()
// convert string into date
let dateValue = dateFormatter.dateFromString(fajerTime) as NSDate!
print(dateValue)
var dateComparisionResult:NSComparisonResult = NSDate().compare(dateValue)
if dateComparisionResult == NSComparisonResult.OrderedDescending {
addNotificationAlarm(year, month: month, day: day, hour: prayer0.time[0...1], minutes: prayer0.time[3...4], soundId: prayerCommingFromAdan.ringToneId, notificationBody: "It is al fajr adan")
}
The problem seems be the format of fajerTime. It looks like fajerTime is a time string, e.g. 12:34, whereas the date formatter is configured to accept string containing a month, day and year, e.g. 24-07-2016.
You need to format fajerTime to include the year, month and day, as well as the time. Also configure the date formatter to accept the full date and time.
Assuming prayer0 is an array, you will also need to combine the elements into a string, using joinWithSeparator.
e.g.
let hours = prayer0.time[0...1].joinWithSeparator("")
let minutes = prayer0.time[3...4].joinWithSeparator("")
let fajerTime = "\(month)-\(day)-\(year) \(hours):\(minutes)"
var dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm"
dateFormatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone.localTimeZone()
// convert string into date
let dateValue = dateFormatter.dateFromString(fajerTime) as NSDate!
