    <p>Short version: Is there a way to combine two <code>NSDates</code> (which can be formed from two different strings) into a single <code>NSDate</code> object?</p> <p>Detail: In my app, there are two textfields where the user enters the day and the time, respectively (these are entered using a customised Date Picker). When I want to save the information in the database, the property of the object expects a single date, comprised of both the day and the time.</p> <p>Here is how I set the strings:</p> <pre><code> if ([mode isEqualToString:@"date"]) { self.dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [self.dateFormat setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yy"]; self.dateTextField.text = [self.dateFormat stringFromDate:date]; } else if ([mode isEqualToString:@"time"]) { self.timeFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [self.timeFormat setDateFormat:@"hh:mm a"]; self.timeTextField.text = [self.timeFormat stringFromDate:date]; } </code></pre> <p>where <code>date</code> is a <code>NSDate</code> passed in to the method. Now when I am trying to save the information in a different method, I have access to the strings and the date formats, so I am able to do</p> <pre><code>NSDate* tempDate = [self.dateFormat dateFromString: self.dateTextField.text]; NSDate* tempTime = [self.timeFormat dateFromString: self.timeTextField.text]; </code></pre> <p>but that's as far as I can get... I'm not sure how to combine the dates together into a single entity. Would I combine the DateFormatter strings together somehow?</p> <p>Thank you for your help :)</p>

    1. COyou could try concatenating the 2 dates together as such NSString *dateString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", tempDate + tempTime"]; try that out

    2. COIf you have only a time, what date is assumed? If you have both, combine them before creating the new NSDate object.

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.
