How to display current time on text label?
Use a date formatter to format the date.
var dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.timeStyle = .MediumStyle
var timeString = "The time is: \(dateFormatter.stringFromDate(NSDate()))"
Set timeString
to your label's text
property. Run it on an NSTimer
to keep it up to date.
Swift 4:
var currentDateTime = Date()
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.timeStyle = .medium
yourLabel.text = "\(dateFormatter.string(from: currentDateTime))"
Display Live Time/Date in labels.
@IBOutlet weak var dateLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var timeLabel: UILabel!
var timer = Timer()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
dateLabel.text = DateFormatter.localizedString(from: Date(), dateStyle: .long, timeStyle: .none)
timeLabel.text = DateFormatter.localizedString(from: Date(), dateStyle: .none, timeStyle: .short)
timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 1.0, target: self, selector:#selector(self.tick) , userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
}
@objc func tick() {
dateLabel.text = DateFormatter.localizedString(from: Date(), dateStyle: .long, timeStyle: .none)
timeLabel.text = DateFormatter.localizedString(from: Date(), dateStyle: .none, timeStyle: .short)
}
