Get selected time from UIDatePicker

iphone

Solution

You'll need to use `NSDateFormatter` to format the `NSDate` returned by your `UIDatePicker`. Here's some untested sample code, assuming you have a UILabel as property "myLabel" and a UIDatePicker as property "myDatePicker":

NSDateFormatter *outputFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[outputFormatter setDateFormat:@"h:mm a"];

self.myLabel.text = [outputFormatter stringFromDate:self.myDatePicker.date];

[outputFormatter release];

You'll want to check the date format patterns on the Unicode Locale Data Markup Language page. The string `"h:mm a"` will give you something like `"12:08 PM"` depending on your locale.
