Answer 1

In the following, yourDate represents your input NSDate; nextDate represents the next day.

// start by retrieving day, weekday, month and year components for yourDate
    NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
    NSDateComponents *todayComponents = [gregorian components:(NSDayCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSYearCalendarUnit) yourDate];
    NSInteger theDay = [todayComponents day];
    NSInteger theMonth = [todayComponents month];
    NSInteger theYear = [todayComponents year];

    // now build a NSDate object for yourDate using these components
    NSDateComponents *components = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
    [components setDay:theDay]; 
    [components setMonth:theMonth]; 
    [components setYear:theYear];
    NSDate *thisDate = [gregorian dateFromComponents:components];
    [components release];

    // now build a NSDate object for the next day
    NSDateComponents *offsetComponents = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
    [offsetComponents setDay:1];
    NSDate *nextDate = [gregorian dateByAddingComponents:offsetComponents toDate: yourDate options:0];
    [offsetComponents release];
    [gregorian release];

//Add the below code to init method or viewDidload [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[NSDate date] forKey:@"Date"];

//Add this code where you wanna retrieve next or previous dates NSDate *tomorrow = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:@"Date"]; NSTimeInterval secondsPerDay = 24 * 60 * 60;
NSDate *date = [tomorrow addTimeInterval:secondsPerDay]; //Change NSDate *date = [tomorrow addTimeInterval:-secondsPerDay]; for yesterday tomorrow = date; [self setDate:tomorrow]; dateTextField.text = [self getDate]; [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:tomorrow forKey:@"Date"];

Answer 3

what about this methods ?

http://www.drobnik.com/touch/2009/05/adding-days-to-nsdate/

NSDate *now = [NSDate date]; int daysToAdd = 50; // or 60 :-)

// set up date components NSDateComponents *components = [[[NSDateComponents alloc] init] autorelease]; [components setDay:daysToAdd];

// create a calendar NSCalendar *gregorian = [[[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar] autorelease];

NSDate *newDate2 = [gregorian dateByAddingComponents:components toDate:now options:0]; NSLog(@"Clean: %@", newDate2);

I guess this method works just fine for me.

NSString *zajtra = [[NSDate date] dateByAddingTimeInterval:86400];
