iOS how we can get the time from UIDatePicker

[rajneesh.deora]

Hi All,
I am using UIDatePicker having datePickerMode UIDatePickerModeTime.
Now my probelm is that how we can set the label text as selected time from the UIDatePicker.

I have used NSDateFormatter and set it as
[dateFormatter stringFromDate:timePicker.date]
but it is for getting the date from UIDatePicker having mode UIDatePickerModeDate.
Please help me to solve it out.
waiting for your help.

Thanks a lot...

[yourlable setText:[datePicker.date descriptionWithCalendarFormat:@"%m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p" timeZone:nil locale:nil]];

This will set your text to the format: MM/DD/YYYY 12:00 pm
So if you just want time: Change the format to: "%I:%M %p"

See the documentation for all the options to format the string of your date

Use setDateStyle and setTimeStyle.
i did this and it worked great-

-(void)createPicker
{
	CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0.0, 43.0,300, 20);
	myPickerView = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:rect];
	myPickerView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
	myPickerView.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime;
	
	[myPickerView addTarget:self action:@selector(changeDateInLabel:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
	[self.view addSubview:myPickerView];
}

- (void)changeDateInLabel:(id)sender{

	//Use NSDateFormatter to write out the date in a friendly format
	NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
	[df setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];
	[df setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
	NSString *dateNTime = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [df stringFromDate:myPickerView.date]];
	[df release];
}
