Xcode swift am pm time to 24 hour format

Question

I am trying to convert a am pm format time to a 24 hour format time  6 35 PM to 18 35   I tried this piece of code on playground but it doesnt seem to work if I put the time alone  let dateAsString    02 12 15  6 35 PM  let dateFormatter   NSDateFormatter   dateFormatter dateFormat    HH  let date   dateFormatter dateFromString dateAsString    returns nil   Does anyone know how to accomplish this   Thank you

I am using a function here in my case by which I am updating a label with the normal time format and after that I am storing the selected time's 24hr format to do some another tasks..

Here is my code...

func timeUpdate(sender: NSDate)
{
    let timeSave = NSDateFormatter() //Creating first object to update time label as 12hr format with AM/PM
    timeSave.timeStyle = NSDateFormatterStyle.ShortStyle //Setting the style for the time selection.
    self.TimeShowOutlet.text = timeSave.stringFromDate(sender) // Getting the string from the selected time and updating the label as 1:40 PM
    let timeCheck = NSDateFormatter() //Creating another object to store time in 24hr format.
    timeCheck.dateFormat = "HH:mm:ss" //Setting the format for the time save.
    let time = timeCheck.stringFromDate(sender) //Getting the time string as 13:40:00
    self.timeSelectedForCheckAvailability = time //At last saving the 24hr format time for further task.
}

After writing this function you can call this where you are choosing the time from date/time picker.

Thanks, Hope this helped.

Just convert it to a date using NSDateFormatter and the  h mm a  format and convert it back to a string using the  HH mm  format  Check out this date formatting guide to familiarize yourself with this material     let dateAsString    6 35 PM  let dateFormatter   NSDateFormatter   dateFormatter dateFormat    h mm a  let date   dateFormatter dateFromString dateAsString   dateFormatter dateFormat    HH mm  let date24   dateFormatter stringFromDate date

Unfortunately apple priority the device date format  so in some cases against what you put  swift change your format to 12hrs  To fix this is necessary to use setLocalizedDateFormatFromTemplate instead of dateFormat an hide the AM and PM   let formatter   DateFormatter   formatter setLocalizedDateFormatFromTemplate  HH mm ss a   formatter amSymbol      formatter pmSymbol      formatter timeZone   TimeZone secondsFromGMT  0  var prettyDate   formatter string from  Date      You can check a very useful post with more information detailed in  https   prograils com posts the-curious-case-of-the-24-hour-time-format-in-swift
