    <p>I wrote an app that allows users to enter in a date on a date picker, and the app will alert the user 36 hours before that date arrives. My issue is in the <code>dateFromString:</code>. I'm not sure what to put in there. Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { UILocalNotification *localNotif = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init]; NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"mm'/'dd'/'yyyy"]; NSDate *eventDate=[dateFormatter dateFromString: ]; localNotif.fireDate = [eventDate dateByAddingTimeInterval:-13*60*60]; localNotif.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone]; localNotif.alertBody = @"Event tommorow!"; localNotif.alertAction = nil; localNotif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName; localNotif.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0; [[UIApplication sharedApplication]presentLocalNotificationNow:localNotif]; return YES; </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>Any help is much appreciated, thank you!</p> <p>Edit: Here is some additional code that I'm using to save the date they entered on the date picker if that helps:</p> <pre><code>- (void)viewDidLoad { NSDate *storedDate = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"DatePickerViewController.selectedDate"]; [self.datePicker setDate:storedDate animated:NO]; } </code></pre> <p>And this is the method that saves the data:</p> <pre><code>- (IBAction)dateChanged:(id)sender { NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; NSDate *selectedDate = [self.datePicker date]; [defaults setObject:selectedDate forKey:@"DatePickerViewController.selectedDate"];} </code></pre>

    2. COOh ok, thank you. The user enters in the date themselves, which is what makes it tricky for me. Do you know how I would go about getting the date they entered, and setting it in the `dateFromString` area?

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.
