我试图实现dropBox同步,需要比较两个文件的日期。一个在我的dropBox账户上,一个在我的iPhone上。

我想出了以下方法,但我得到了意想不到的结果。我想我在比较这两个日期时做了一些根本性的错误。我只是使用> <操作符,但我猜这是不行的,因为我比较两个NSDate字符串。开始吧:

NSLog(@"dB...lastModified: %@", dbObject.lastModifiedDate); 
NSLog(@"iP...lastModified: %@", [self getDateOfLocalFile:@"NoteBook.txt"]);

if ([dbObject lastModifiedDate] < [self getDateOfLocalFile:@"NoteBook.txt"]) {
    NSLog(@"...db is more up-to-date. Download in progress...");
    [self DBdownload:@"NoteBook.txt"];
    NSLog(@"Download complete.");
} else {
    NSLog(@"...iP is more up-to-date. Upload in progress...");
    [self DBupload:@"NoteBook.txt"];
    NSLog(@"Upload complete.");
}

这给了我以下(随机和错误)输出:

2011-05-11 14:20:54.413 NotePage[6918:207] dB...lastModified: 2011-05-11 13:18:25 +0000
2011-05-11 14:20:54.414 NotePage[6918:207] iP...lastModified: 2011-05-11 13:20:48 +0000
2011-05-11 14:20:54.415 NotePage[6918:207] ...db is more up-to-date.

或者这个恰好是正确的:

2011-05-11 14:20:25.097 NotePage[6903:207] dB...lastModified: 2011-05-11 13:18:25 +0000
2011-05-11 14:20:25.098 NotePage[6903:207] iP...lastModified: 2011-05-11 13:19:45 +0000
2011-05-11 14:20:25.099 NotePage[6903:207] ...iP is more up-to-date.

我试过了,希望对你有用

NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];      
int unitFlags =NSDayCalendarUnit;      
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];     
NSDate *myDate; //= [[NSDate alloc] init];     
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy"];   
myDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:self.strPrevioisDate];     
NSDateComponents *comps = [gregorian components:unitFlags fromDate:myDate toDate:[NSDate date] options:0];   
NSInteger day=[comps day];

其他回答

你们为什么不用这些NSDate比较方法呢:

- (NSDate *)earlierDate:(NSDate *)anotherDate;
- (NSDate *)laterDate:(NSDate *)anotherDate;
- (NSDate *)earlierDate:(NSDate *)anotherDate

这将返回较早的接收者和另一个日期。如果两者相同,则返回接收器。

你应该使用:

- (NSComparisonResult)compare:(NSDate *)anotherDate

比较日期。objective C中没有运算符重载。

在Swift中,你可以重载现有的操作符:

func > (lhs: NSDate, rhs: NSDate) -> Bool {
    return lhs.timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate > rhs.timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate
}

func < (lhs: NSDate, rhs: NSDate) -> Bool {
    return lhs.timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate < rhs.timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate
}

然后,你可以直接比较NSDates与<,>,和==(已经支持)。

一些日期工具,包括比较在英语,这是很好的:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>


@interface NSDate (Util)

-(BOOL) isLaterThanOrEqualTo:(NSDate*)date;
-(BOOL) isEarlierThanOrEqualTo:(NSDate*)date;
-(BOOL) isLaterThan:(NSDate*)date;
-(BOOL) isEarlierThan:(NSDate*)date;
- (NSDate*) dateByAddingDays:(int)days;

@end

实现:

#import "NSDate+Util.h"


@implementation NSDate (Util)

-(BOOL) isLaterThanOrEqualTo:(NSDate*)date {
    return !([self compare:date] == NSOrderedAscending);
}

-(BOOL) isEarlierThanOrEqualTo:(NSDate*)date {
    return !([self compare:date] == NSOrderedDescending);
}
-(BOOL) isLaterThan:(NSDate*)date {
    return ([self compare:date] == NSOrderedDescending);

}
-(BOOL) isEarlierThan:(NSDate*)date {
    return ([self compare:date] == NSOrderedAscending);
}

- (NSDate *) dateByAddingDays:(int)days {
    NSDate *retVal;
    NSDateComponents *components = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
    [components setDay:days];

    NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
    retVal = [gregorian dateByAddingComponents:components toDate:self options:0];
    return retVal;
}

@end
