NSDateComponents weekday doesn't show correct weekday?

ios, ios5, nsdate, nsdatecomponents, objective-c

Solution

Try doing something like this:

NSCalendar *gregorian = [[[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar] autorelease];
[gregorian setFirstWeekday:2]; // Sunday == 1, Saturday == 7
NSUInteger adjustedWeekdayOrdinal = [gregorian ordinalityOfUnit:NSWeekdayCalendarUnit inUnit:NSWeekCalendarUnit forDate:[NSDate date]];
NSLog(@"Adjusted weekday ordinal: %d", adjustedWeekdayOrdinal);

Problem

I got a NSDate for example 1/6 -12 (Friday) and trying to find out what weekday it is. My week starts at Monday so Friday should be weekday 5. ``` NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar]; [calendar setFirstWeekday:2]; NSDateComponents *components = [calendar components:NSWeekdayCalendarUnit fromDate:firstOfJulyDate]; NSLog(@"weekday %i",components.weekday); ``` Output: weekday 6 Doesn't matter what i set setFirstWeekday to, output will always be 6. What am i doing wrong?
