NSCalendar: Problem getting weeks in a month...

I am creating a calendar control of sorts...

One thing I need to know is how many weeks are there in a Month...

So NSCalendar rangeOfUnit:inUnit:forDate Seems to be exactly what I need...

Except I am noticing something that seems off and I can't quite figure out why this is happening...

The following code...

NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];

NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
[dateComponents setYear: 2010];
[dateComponents setDay: 1];

for (int x=1; x<=12; x++)
{
    [dateComponents setMonth: x];

    NSDate *date = [calendar dateFromComponents:dateComponents];
    NSLog(@"Date: %@", date);

    NSRange range = [calendar rangeOfUnit: NSWeekCalendarUnit
                                   inUnit: NSMonthCalendarUnit
                                  forDate:date];

    NSLog(@"%d Weeks in Month %d", range.length, [dateComponents month]);

}

Is returning the following debug messages...

2010-03-14 13:08:10.369 Scrap[4256:207] 52 Weeks in Month 12

I cant quite figure out why I get 52 weeks in month 12.

Any clues?

Edit on 3/20/2010:

Seeing as how I couldnt use rangeOfUnit:inUnit:forDate to calculate the number of weeks in a month. I decided to figure out a different way of calculating the same value.

I figured I should do this in a non-Gregorian localized way, so I attempted to start with getting the number of days in a week, but I got the result of 28 days in a week. So I started writing more code to figure out why...

I wanted to make sure that the type of NSCalendar that I was playing with was in fact what I was supposed to be getting... And that led me to finding some differences...

NSCalendar *currentCalendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];

NSLog(@"Calendar with 'currentCalendar' Identifier: %@", 
      [currentCalendar calendarIdentifier]);

NSCalendar *calendarWithIdentifier = [[[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier: NSGregorianCalendar] autorelease];

NSLog(@"Calendar created with identifier Identifier: %@", 
      [calendarWithIdentifier calendarIdentifier]);

NSDate *now = [[NSDate alloc] init];

NSDateComponents *currentMonth = [currentCalendar components: NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSYearCalendarUnit
                                                    fromDate: now];

NSDate *currentMonthDate = [currentCalendar dateFromComponents: currentMonth];

NSRange daysInWeekRange = [currentCalendar rangeOfUnit: NSDayCalendarUnit
                                                inUnit: NSWeekCalendarUnit
                                               forDate: currentMonthDate];

NSLog(@"CurrentCalendar: Length:%u Location:%u", daysInWeekRange.length, daysInWeekRange.location);

currentMonth = [calendarWithIdentifier components: NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSYearCalendarUnit 
                                         fromDate: now];

currentMonthDate = [calendarWithIdentifier dateFromComponents: currentMonth];

daysInWeekRange = [calendarWithIdentifier rangeOfUnit: NSDayCalendarUnit
                                               inUnit: NSWeekCalendarUnit
                                              forDate: currentMonthDate];

NSLog(@"GregorianCalendar: Length:%u Location:%u", daysInWeekRange.length, daysInWeekRange.location);

And that got me the following log results...

2010-03-20 21:02:27.245 Scrap[52189:207] Calendar with 'currentCalendar' Identifier: gregorian
2010-03-20 21:02:27.246 Scrap[52189:207] Calendar created with identifier Identifier: gregorian
2010-03-20 21:02:27.248 Scrap[52189:207] CurrentCalendar: Length:28 Location:1
2010-03-20 21:02:27.249 Scrap[52189:207] GregorianCalendar: Length:7 Location:1

Taking direction from @CarlNorum's experience, I compiled the code snippet as a 10.6 Cocoa application, and I got the following...

2010-03-20 21:05:35.636 ScrapCocoa[52238:a0f] Calendar with 'currentCalendar' Identifier: gregorian
2010-03-20 21:05:35.636 ScrapCocoa[52238:a0f] Calendar created with identifier Identifier: gregorian
2010-03-20 21:05:35.637 ScrapCocoa[52238:a0f] CurrentCalendar: Length:6 Location:1
2010-03-20 21:05:35.638 ScrapCocoa[52238:a0f] GregorianCalendar: Length:7 Location:1

I saw hope in that creating a NSCalendar Instance explicitly as a Gregorian Calendar would lead to better results in my original problem... So I modified that original code

NSCalendar *currentCalendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];

NSLog(@"Calendar with 'currentCalendar' Identifier: %@", 
      [currentCalendar calendarIdentifier]);

NSCalendar *calendarWithIdentifier = [[[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier: NSGregorianCalendar] autorelease];

NSLog(@"Calendar created with identifier Identifier: %@", 
      [calendarWithIdentifier calendarIdentifier]);

NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [[[NSDateComponents alloc] init] autorelease];
[dateComponents setYear: 2010];
[dateComponents setDay: 1];

for (int x=1; x<=12; x++)
{
    [dateComponents setMonth: x];

    NSDate *date = [currentCalendar dateFromComponents: dateComponents];
    NSRange range = [currentCalendar rangeOfUnit: NSWeekCalendarUnit
                                          inUnit: NSMonthCalendarUnit
                                         forDate: date];

    NSLog(@"CurrentCalendar Date: %@", date);
    NSLog(@"CurrentCalendar: %d Weeks in Month %d", range.length, [dateComponents month]);

    date = [calendarWithIdentifier dateFromComponents: dateComponents];

    range = [calendarWithIdentifier rangeOfUnit: NSWeekCalendarUnit
                                         inUnit: NSMonthCalendarUnit
                                        forDate: date];

    NSLog(@"GregorianCalendar Date: %@", date);
    NSLog(@"GregorianCalendar: %d Weeks in Month %d", range.length, [dateComponents month]);

}

Unfortunately using a calendar created that way did not return a different result.

Compiling the code for Cocoa just for kicks, was actually amusing... As the results are really really different

I think this is when I give up...

Tried this code with the 10.6 SDK and it appears to work.

I tried it with the iPhone SDK and I get the same output you do. It is unclear that the iPhone SDK is outputting the correct values for many of the other months as well. I agree, for example, with the 10.6 SDK answer that Jan. has 6 weeks.

I do not see anything obviously wrong with your code.

I might first suggest heading to http://bugreport.apple.com and submitting a bug.

You can also head over to Apple's private developer forums ( http://developer.apple.com/devforums/ ) and try asking there.

Of course, you can also submit a tech support incident to Apple ( [email protected] - http://developer.apple.com/programs/adcbenefits/ ) ... if you don't have any in your ADC account, I believe Apple will happily sell you one and you can speak directly with an Apple engineer about this issue.

I asked in the forum... We'll see if anything comes of it.https://devforums.apple.com/thread/41850

I've received more confirmation that this is a bug... Submitted an apple bug... https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb.woa/110/wo/bgn2sV1PSwrS42bBbWs2uM/10.79.28.0.9

@AngrySpade: That URL doesn't mean anything outside of that session. The bug number would be much more useful.

A: 

Have you guys found a solution? I'm having the same problem... I'm expecting 6 weeks for May 2010 and I'm getting 5... I'm using the Iphone 4 Beta SDK. Used the 3.1.3 as well same results.

Thank you.

Apple asked me to attach a sample to the Bug report. I did, but I've yet to hear back from them. If you want to get this data, you are going to have to figure out a different way to calculate it. I havent tried as of yet, as the amount of issues I've had with NSCalendar has discouraged me some.
AngrySpade  2010-04-19 16:53:04
Yeah, I had to find another way around it... I'm calculating now based on the week of the first day and the last day and doing some simple math. It works perfect.
