How can I change NSDate to a date string picked from date picker?

UIDatePicker returns me the date in the form of 15Aug,2016 but my date format should be 15/08/2016 in string format. Example "dob" = "15/08/2016" I am using this code 

let dateFormatter=NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat="dd-MM-yyyy"
let strDate=dateFormatter.stringFromDate(myDatePicker.date) as String 
dict["dob"] = strDate

But I am not getting proper string .

Solution

  • you can use this

    let dateformatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateformatter.dateStyle = NSDateFormatterStyle.ShortStyle
let dob = dateformatter.stringFromDate(NSDate())

    the dob in 15/08/2016 format
