[m_datePicker date]; This 'm_datepicker' belongs to which class??, coz the 'date' it returns is being displayed in your log.! — hp iOS Coder, Mar 28 '12 at 10:16
The apple document says that "The default is the date when the UIDatePicker object is created." So I think you are getting the default date. — hp iOS Coder, Mar 28 '12 at 10:25

Try this code... It may work fine for you.

- (IBAction)showSelectedDate:(id)sender
{
        NSDate *selectedDate = myPicker.date;

    NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [formatter setDateFormat:@"DD-MM-YYYY"];


    NSString *str = [formatter stringFromDate:selectedDate];
    NSLog(@" %@",selectedDate);
}

If u want time replace

[formatter setDateFormat:@"DD-MM-YYYY"];

with this line

[formatter setDateFormat:@"day, MMM HH:mm:ss Z"];

Hope this helps you.

NSDateFormatter *formatter3 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [formatter3 setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z"]; [formatter3 setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone localTimeZone]]; NSDate *finalDate = [formatter3 dateFromString:str]; NSLog(@"%@",finalDate); } – Bhavin_m Mar 28 '12 at 11:20

`NSDateFormatter *formatter2 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];` `[formatter2 setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z"];` `NSDate *str = (NSDate *)[formatter2 stringFromDate:pickerDate];` `NSLog(@"%@", str);` `NSDateFormatter *formatter3 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];` `[formatter3 setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone localTimeZone]];` `[formatter3 setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z"];` `NSDate *finalDate = [formatter3 dateFromString:str];` `NSLog(@"%@",finalDate);` – Bhavin_m Mar 28 '12 at 11:39

You are using GMT rather than local time so that it just looks wrong. Use

datePicker.timeZone = [NSTimeZone localTimeZone];

@BhavinMakadia: did you set your picker's timezone ? – Maulik Mar 28 '12 at 10:42
