Get weeks date in IOS SDK

Question

I want to get the current & next week dates with day name.

i.e. If today's date is 28-06-2013 (Friday) then I want to get the dates from 23-06-2013(sunday) to 29-06-2013 (Saturday) as the this current week.

for next week I want to get dates from 30-06-2013(sunday) to 06-07-2013 (saturday).

How can I do this?

Thank you,

Here is sample code that does the trick.

-(NSArray*)daysThisWeek
{
     return  [self daysInWeek:0 fromDate:[NSDate date]];
}

-(NSArray*)daysNextWeek
{
    return  [self daysInWeek:1 fromDate:[NSDate date]];
}
-(NSArray*)daysInWeek:(int)weekOffset fromDate:(NSDate*)date
{
    NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];

    //ask for current week
    NSDateComponents *comps = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
    comps=[calendar components:NSWeekCalendarUnit|NSYearCalendarUnit fromDate:date];
    //create date on week start
    NSDate* weekstart=[calendar dateFromComponents:comps];
    if (weekOffset>0) {
        NSDateComponents* moveWeeks=[[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
        moveWeeks.week=1;
        weekstart=[calendar dateByAddingComponents:moveWeeks toDate:weekstart options:0];
    }

    //add 7 days
    NSMutableArray* week=[NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:7];
    for (int i=1; i<=7; i++) {
        NSDateComponents *compsToAdd = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
        compsToAdd.day=i;
        NSDate *nextDate = [calendar dateByAddingComponents:compsToAdd toDate:weekstart options:0];
        [week addObject:nextDate];

    }
    return [NSArray arrayWithArray:week];
}
