I have a (somewhat?) basic question regarding time conversions in Swift.
I have an integer that I would like converted into Hours / Minutes / Seconds.
Example: Int = 27005 would give me:
7 Hours 30 Minutes 5 Seconds
I know how to do this in PHP, but alas, swift isn't PHP :-)
Any tips on how I can achieve this in swift would be fantastic! Thank you in advance!
Swift 5 & String Response, In presentable format
public static func secondsToHoursMinutesSecondsStr (seconds : Int) -> String {
let (hours, minutes, seconds) = secondsToHoursMinutesSeconds(seconds: seconds);
var str = hours > 0 ? "\(hours) h" : ""
str = minutes > 0 ? str + " \(minutes) min" : str
str = seconds > 0 ? str + " \(seconds) sec" : str
return str
}
public static func secondsToHoursMinutesSeconds (seconds : Int) -> (Int, Int, Int) {
return (seconds / 3600, (seconds % 3600) / 60, (seconds % 3600) % 60)
}
Usage:
print(secondsToHoursMinutesSecondsStr(seconds: 20000)) // Result = "5 h 33 min 20 sec"
Another way would be convert seconds to date and take the components i.e seconds, minutes and hour from date itself. This solution has limitation only till 23:59:59
In macOS 10.10+ / iOS 8.0+ (NS)DateComponentsFormatter has been introduced to create a readable string.
It considers the user's locale und language.
let interval = 27005
let formatter = DateComponentsFormatter()
formatter.allowedUnits = [.hour, .minute, .second]
formatter.unitsStyle = .full
let formattedString = formatter.string(from: TimeInterval(interval))!
print(formattedString)
The available unit styles are positional, abbreviated, short, full, spellOut and brief.
For more information please read the documenation.
neek's answer isn't correct.
here's the correct version
func seconds2Timestamp(intSeconds:Int)->String {
let mins:Int = (intSeconds/60)%60
let hours:Int = intSeconds/3600
let secs:Int = intSeconds%60
let strTimestamp:String = ((hours<10) ? "0" : "") + String(hours) + ":" + ((mins<10) ? "0" : "") + String(mins) + ":" + ((secs<10) ? "0" : "") + String(secs)
return strTimestamp
}
Swift 5:
extension Int {
func secondsToTime() -> String {
let (h,m,s) = (self / 3600, (self % 3600) / 60, (self % 3600) % 60)
let h_string = h < 10 ? "0\(h)" : "\(h)"
let m_string = m < 10 ? "0\(m)" : "\(m)"
let s_string = s < 10 ? "0\(s)" : "\(s)"
return "\(h_string):\(m_string):\(s_string)"
}
}
Usage:
let seconds : Int = 119
print(seconds.secondsToTime()) // Result = "00:01:59"
NSTimeInterval is Double do do it with extension. Example:
extension Double {
var formattedTime: String {
var formattedTime = "0:00"
if self > 0 {
let hours = Int(self / 3600)
let minutes = Int(truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 3600) / 60)
formattedTime = String(hours) + ":" + (minutes < 10 ? "0" + String(minutes) : String(minutes))
}
return formattedTime
}
}
extension Int {
func timeDisplay() -> String {
return "\(self / 3600):\((self % 3600) / 60):\((self % 3600) % 60)"
}
}
Swift 4 I'm using this extension
extension Double {
func stringFromInterval() -> String {
let timeInterval = Int(self)
let millisecondsInt = Int((self.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 1)) * 1000)
let secondsInt = timeInterval % 60
let minutesInt = (timeInterval / 60) % 60
let hoursInt = (timeInterval / 3600) % 24
let daysInt = timeInterval / 86400
let milliseconds = "\(millisecondsInt)ms"
let seconds = "\(secondsInt)s" + " " + milliseconds
let minutes = "\(minutesInt)m" + " " + seconds
let hours = "\(hoursInt)h" + " " + minutes
let days = "\(daysInt)d" + " " + hours
if daysInt > 0 { return days }
if hoursInt > 0 { return hours }
if minutesInt > 0 { return minutes }
if secondsInt > 0 { return seconds }
if millisecondsInt > 0 { return milliseconds }
return ""
}
}
useage
// assume myTimeInterval = 96460.397
myTimeInteval.stringFromInterval() // 1d 2h 47m 40s 397ms
convert a number into time as a string
func convertToHMS(number: Int) -> String {
let hour = number / 3600;
let minute = (number % 3600) / 60;
let second = (number % 3600) % 60 ;
var h = String(hour);
var m = String(minute);
var s = String(second);
if h.count == 1{
h = "0\(hour)";
}
if m.count == 1{
m = "0\(minute)";
}
if s.count == 1{
s = "0\(second)";
}
return "\(h):\(m):\(s)"
}
print(convertToHMS(number:3900))
Here is what I use for my Music Player in Swift 4+. I am converting seconds Int to readable String format
extension Int {
var toAudioString: String {
let h = self / 3600
let m = (self % 3600) / 60
let s = (self % 3600) % 60
return h > 0 ? String(format: "%1d:%02d:%02d", h, m, s) : String(format: "%1d:%02d", m, s)
}
}
Use like this:
print(7903.toAudioString)
Output: 2:11:43
SWIFT 3.0 solution based roughly on the one above using extensions.
extension CMTime {
var durationText:String {
let totalSeconds = CMTimeGetSeconds(self)
let hours:Int = Int(totalSeconds.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 86400) / 3600)
let minutes:Int = Int(totalSeconds.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 3600) / 60)
let seconds:Int = Int(totalSeconds.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 60))
if hours > 0 {
return String(format: "%i:%02i:%02i", hours, minutes, seconds)
} else {
return String(format: "%02i:%02i", minutes, seconds)
}
}
}
Use it with AVPlayer calling it like this?
let dTotalSeconds = self.player.currentTime()
playingCurrentTime = dTotalSeconds.durationText
The simplest way imho:
let hours = time / 3600
let minutes = (time / 60) % 60
let seconds = time % 60
return String(format: "%0.2d:%0.2d:%0.2d", hours, minutes, seconds)
Here is a more structured/flexible approach: (Swift 3)
struct StopWatch {
var totalSeconds: Int
var years: Int {
return totalSeconds / 31536000
}
var days: Int {
return (totalSeconds % 31536000) / 86400
}
var hours: Int {
return (totalSeconds % 86400) / 3600
}
var minutes: Int {
return (totalSeconds % 3600) / 60
}
var seconds: Int {
return totalSeconds % 60
}
//simplified to what OP wanted
var hoursMinutesAndSeconds: (hours: Int, minutes: Int, seconds: Int) {
return (hours, minutes, seconds)
}
}
let watch = StopWatch(totalSeconds: 27005 + 31536000 + 86400)
print(watch.years) // Prints 1
print(watch.days) // Prints 1
print(watch.hours) // Prints 7
print(watch.minutes) // Prints 30
print(watch.seconds) // Prints 5
print(watch.hoursMinutesAndSeconds) // Prints (7, 30, 5)
Having an approach like this allows the adding of convenience parsing like this:
extension StopWatch {
var simpleTimeString: String {
let hoursText = timeText(from: hours)
let minutesText = timeText(from: minutes)
let secondsText = timeText(from: seconds)
return "\(hoursText):\(minutesText):\(secondsText)"
}
private func timeText(from number: Int) -> String {
return number < 10 ? "0\(number)" : "\(number)"
}
}
print(watch.simpleTimeString) // Prints 07:30:05
It should be noted that purely Integer based approaches don't take leap day/seconds into account. If the use case is dealing with real dates/times Date and Calendar should be used.
Building upon Vadian's answer, I wrote an extension that takes a Double (of which TimeInterval is a type alias) and spits out a string formatted as time.
extension Double {
func asString(style: DateComponentsFormatter.UnitsStyle) -> String {
let formatter = DateComponentsFormatter()
formatter.allowedUnits = [.hour, .minute, .second, .nanosecond]
formatter.unitsStyle = style
guard let formattedString = formatter.string(from: self) else { return "" }
return formattedString
}
}
Here are what the various DateComponentsFormatter.UnitsStyle options look like:
10000.asString(style: .positional) // 2:46:40
10000.asString(style: .abbreviated) // 2h 46m 40s
10000.asString(style: .short) // 2 hr, 46 min, 40 sec
10000.asString(style: .full) // 2 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds
10000.asString(style: .spellOut) // two hours, forty-six minutes, forty seconds
10000.asString(style: .brief) // 2hr 46min 40sec
Answer of @r3dm4n was great. However, I needed also hour in it. Just in case someone else needed too here it is:
func formatSecondsToString(_ seconds: TimeInterval) -> String {
if seconds.isNaN {
return "00:00:00"
}
let sec = Int(seconds.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 60))
let min = Int(seconds.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 3600) / 60)
let hour = Int(seconds / 3600)
return String(format: "%02d:%02d:%02d", hour, min, sec)
}
I went ahead and created a closure for this (in Swift 3).
let (m, s) = { (secs: Int) -> (Int, Int) in
return ((secs % 3600) / 60, (secs % 3600) % 60) }(299)
This will give m = 4 and s = 59. So you can format that as you wish. You may of course want to add hours as well, if not more information.
I had answered to the similar question, however you don't need to display milliseconds in the result. Hence my solution requires iOS 10.0, tvOS 10.0, watchOS 3.0 or macOS 10.12.
You should call func convertDurationUnitValueToOtherUnits(durationValue:durationUnit:smallestUnitDuration:) from the answer that I already mentioned here:
let secondsToConvert = 27005
let result: [Int] = convertDurationUnitValueToOtherUnits(
durationValue: Double(secondsToConvert),
durationUnit: .seconds,
smallestUnitDuration: .seconds
)
print("\(result[0]) hours, \(result[1]) minutes, \(result[2]) seconds") // 7 hours, 30 minutes, 5 seconds
In Swift 5:
var i = 9897
func timeString(time: TimeInterval) -> String {
let hour = Int(time) / 3600
let minute = Int(time) / 60 % 60
let second = Int(time) % 60
// return formated string
return String(format: "%02i:%02i:%02i", hour, minute, second)
}
To call function
timeString(time: TimeInterval(i))
Will return 02:44:57
Swift 4
func formatSecondsToString(_ seconds: TimeInterval) -> String {
if seconds.isNaN {
return "00:00"
}
let Min = Int(seconds / 60)
let Sec = Int(seconds.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 60))
return String(format: "%02d:%02d", Min, Sec)
}
Here is another simple implementation in Swift3.
func seconds2Timestamp(intSeconds:Int)->String {
let mins:Int = intSeconds/60
let hours:Int = mins/60
let secs:Int = intSeconds%60
let strTimestamp:String = ((hours<10) ? "0" : "") + String(hours) + ":" + ((mins<10) ? "0" : "") + String(mins) + ":" + ((secs<10) ? "0" : "") + String(secs)
return strTimestamp
}
I have built a mashup of existing answers to simplify everything and reduce the amount of code needed for Swift 3.
func hmsFrom(seconds: Int, completion: @escaping (_ hours: Int, _ minutes: Int, _ seconds: Int)->()) {
completion(seconds / 3600, (seconds % 3600) / 60, (seconds % 3600) % 60)
}
func getStringFrom(seconds: Int) -> String {
return seconds < 10 ? "0\(seconds)" : "\(seconds)"
}
Usage:
var seconds: Int = 100
hmsFrom(seconds: seconds) { hours, minutes, seconds in
let hours = getStringFrom(seconds: hours)
let minutes = getStringFrom(seconds: minutes)
let seconds = getStringFrom(seconds: seconds)
print("\(hours):\(minutes):\(seconds)")
}
Prints:
00:01:40
According to GoZoner answer I have wrote an Extension to get the time formatted according to the hours, minute, and seconds:
extension Double {
func secondsToHoursMinutesSeconds () -> (Int?, Int?, Int?) {
let hrs = self / 3600
let mins = (self.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 3600)) / 60
let seconds = (self.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy:3600)).truncatingRemainder(dividingBy:60)
return (Int(hrs) > 0 ? Int(hrs) : nil , Int(mins) > 0 ? Int(mins) : nil, Int(seconds) > 0 ? Int(seconds) : nil)
}
func printSecondsToHoursMinutesSeconds () -> String {
let time = self.secondsToHoursMinutesSeconds()
switch time {
case (nil, let x? , let y?):
return "\(x) min \(y) sec"
case (nil, let x?, nil):
return "\(x) min"
case (let x?, nil, nil):
return "\(x) hr"
case (nil, nil, let x?):
return "\(x) sec"
case (let x?, nil, let z?):
return "\(x) hr \(z) sec"
case (let x?, let y?, nil):
return "\(x) hr \(y) min"
case (let x?, let y?, let z?):
return "\(x) hr \(y) min \(z) sec"
default:
return "n/a"
}
}
}
let tmp = 3213123.printSecondsToHoursMinutesSeconds() // "892 hr 32 min 3 sec"
