NSDateFormatter for day and month name

Question

I am trying to get date in the format Monday, March 09, 2015. But following code is not returning required date format. I think I am using wrong Formatter. Here is the code:

NSString *dateString = @"09-03-2015";
        NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
        [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd MMMM yyyy"];
        NSDate *date = [[NSDate alloc] init];
        date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
        NSLog(@"%@",[dateFormatter stringFromDate:date]);

Answer 1

try this...

//Getting date from string
    NSString *dateString = @"09-03-2015";
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy"];
    NSDate *date = [[NSDate alloc] init];
    date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
// converting into our required date format    
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy"];
    NSString *reqDateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
    NSLog(@"date is %@", reqDateString);
