In my app i am using zbar sdk to scan ticket and i want to save current time in sqlite when the camera takes the shot . How can i do this. Thanks in advance.
when you click save on ZBarReaderController , this bellow method called..
- (void) imagePickerController: (UIImagePickerController*) reader didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: (NSDictionary*) info
{
NSDate *currentDateandTime = [NSDate date];
/// and save this date and time in your database
////with date formate see bellow my edited answer
/// this for get string from date with formate
NSDateFormatter* dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEE, dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss a"];
NSString *dateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
NSLog(dateString);
/// for get date from string with different formate use bellow code
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString: dateString];
}
also for more detail about NSDate see my blog on bellow link..
