iOS NSDateFormatter formatting the time

[erdinc27]

i have such a string "17:22:19" i need to convert it to time and countdown. I try to format it with NSDateFormatter but the result is always nil. Here how my code looks.

NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
formatter.dateFormat = @"HH:mm:ss";
NSDate *theTime = [formatter dateFromString:@"17:22:19"];

how can i convert it to time and countdown by timer ?

take a look at the documentation for NSDateFormatter https://developer.apple.com/library...nce/Foundation/Classes/NSDateFormatter_Class/

it says it returns nil if it cannot parse the string.
