    <p>I am always getting a null from the date formatter. I tried examples in all the other questions and didn't help.</p> <pre><code> NSLog(@"Date is %@", summaryItem.SubmittedDate); NSLog(@"Formatted Date is %@", [df stringFromDate: summaryItem.SubmittedDate ]); BOOL isDate = [summaryItem.SubmittedDate isKindOfClass: [NSDate class]]; NSLog(@"Date %@ a date.", isDate ? @"is" : @"is not"); </code></pre> <p>Looking at the definition of SubmittedDate you have</p> <pre><code>@property (nonatomic, retain) NSDate *SubmittedDate; </code></pre> <p>I am initializing the Date Fomatter as so</p> <pre><code>- (void) initDateFormatter { if( df == nil ) { df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [df setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"]; [df setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle]; } } </code></pre> <ol> <li>Output to Log: <ul> <li>2012-11-21 10:00:41.650 Mobile_v2[4093:f803] Date is 11/21/2012 10:00:41 AM</li> <li>2012-11-21 10:00:41.651 Mobile_v2[4093:f803] Formatted Date is (null)</li> <li>2012-11-21 10:00:41.681 Mobile_v2[4093:f803] Date is not a date.</li> </ul></li> </ol> <p>Can anyone see what's wrong?

    1. CO`setDateFormat` and `setDateStyle` are mutually exclusive. `setDateStyle` will effectively set a built-in date format.

    3. COI am translating this value "11/21/2012 10:47:54 AM" and NSDate becomes nil. But if I use the string "11/21/2012" NSDate is valid. How can I create an NSDate and keep the time component? I added the json code into the question for clarity

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
