How to get time from YYYY-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.sssZ

Question

Hi I want to get time as 11:40 from 2017-07-31T11:40:00.000Z

Below is the code I am using:

let formatter = Foundation.DateFormatter()
formatter.dateFormat = "YYYY-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.sssZ" //2017-04-01T18:05:00.000
let date1  = formatter.date(from: data.arvTime)
print("date:\(String(describing: date1))")
let dateFormatterPrint = Foundation.DateFormatter()
dateFormatterPrint.dateFormat = "HH:mm"
let resultTime = dateFormatterPrint.string(from: date1!)
print("time:\(String(describing: resultTime))")

Getting time as 1:29 i.e. I am getting wrong time.

Please help me to solve this issue.

Answer 1

use the dateformat

formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'"

instead of

formatter.dateFormat = "YYYY-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.sssZ" 

for full code

 let formatter = Foundation.DateFormatter()
    formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'" //2017-04-01T18:05:00.000
    let date1  = formatter.date(from: "2017-04-01T18:05:00.000Z")
    print("date:\(String(describing: date1))") 
    formatter.dateFormat = "HH:mm"
    let resultTime = formatter.string(from: date1!)
    print("time:\(String(describing: resultTime))")

option-2

    let formatter = Foundation.DateFormatter()
    formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.sssZ" //2017-04-01T18:05:00.000
    let date1  = formatter.date(from: "2017-04-01T18:05:00.000Z")
    print("date:\(String(describing: date1))")
    formatter.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "UTC")
    formatter.dateFormat = "HH:mm"
    let resultTime = formatter.string(from: date1!)
    print("time:\(String(describing: resultTime))")

output
