iphone - Does [NSDate date] return the local date and time? -

-

am stupid? time thought [nsdate date] returned local date , time. after having trouble nsstringformatter/stringfromdate/datefromstring today noticed [nsdate date] returning 2011-03-06 11:00:00 +0000. after researching see [nsdate date] returns raw date gmt.

what purpose gmt offset portion serve if shows +0000? not understand [mydate description]. docs says supposed display gmt offset dst information. same thing [nsdate date].

bottom line me, if use [nsdate date] current date , after 2pm tomorrow's date in -10 time zone. not mention problems ran today nsdateformatter.

am seeing correctly? funny thing seem remember seeing [nsdate date] returning 2011-03-06 11:00:00 -36000, or did think seeing 2011-03-06 11:00:00 -10000.

i can work it, maybe can expound on me better understand nsdate.

nsdate returns current date. though can convert , string format in different locales/time zones, nsdate has no internal concept of time zone. nsdates not bound particular region. if , else in world asked devices [nsdate date] simultaneously, you'd equal results — not because returns in gmt because doesn't return in time zone-specific manner. in cocoa, date specific moment in history of earth. how write date related calendar, time zone , locale.

you aren't getting tomorrow's date, you're getting correct date , noticing gives different day if expressed in gmt. it's correct date, written differently you'd like.

'description' method overridden nsobject. when nslog object, happens internally description method called , string returned printed. should identical results logging object , [object description], since former calls description , prints string, latter calls description calls description on resulting string , prints that. nsstrings return result of description.

it should default behaviour meaningful description, try:

nslog(@"%@", [[nsdate date] descriptionwithcalendarformat:nil             timezone:[nstimezone localtimezone] locale:[nslocale currentlocale]]);

if still logs in gmt device believes in gmt. i've no idea how reliable simulator sort of thing.

how set z-index drawing object when using drawingcontext.drawxxx() methods? the object drawn last have higher z index. can't change index of drawn objects. way draw in order. if using wpf (as placed tag), can use, example, canvas control. create shapes need like polyline obj = new polyline(); //... // ... set properties of obj and add them canvas uielementcollection: yourcanvasname.children.add(obj); //or yourcanvasname.children.insert(i, obj); first items of collection have higher z index. advantages in way: no need redraw on window changes, can anytime move objects , change order.

razor - Is this a bug in WebMatrix PageData? -

i think may have found bug in webmatrix's pagedata, not sure. concerns how pass data partial page calling page. in webmatrix documentation (tutorials, e.g. " 3 - creating consistent look ", , example code), pagedata recommended mechanism pass data between pages (e.g. content page layout page, or partial page). however have found not work other way, pass data partial page calling page. modifying or adding entries in pagedata in partial page, not seem calling page. cutting right down simplest possible example, in test page may have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "initial entry"; } <p>before calling partial page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> @renderpage("_testpartial.cshtml") <p>after returning calling page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> and in _testpartial.cshtml page might have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "modified entry"; } <p>in partial page...

android - layout with fragment and framelayout replaced by another fragment and framelayout -

edit: so after comments below, revisted , realized hanging me up. imagine client list , client details activity started : public class clientsmainactivity extends fragmentactivity { @override public void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) { super.oncreate(savedinstancestate); //studiotabopenhelper db; setcontentview(r.layout.main_client_activity); } } so works great, starts main_client_activity (defined in layout below, , call activity when button on main screen clicked): intent intent = new intent(getactivity(), clientsmainactivity.class); startactivity(intent); easy issue is, clientsmainactivity not call oncreateview or anything, sets layout layout defines fragment, , listfragment. fine cause not trying pass clientsmainactivity , if have hypothetical activity like: sessionmainsactivity called when click on session edit of client, not calling sessionsmainactivity same way (starts activity sets alayout), want layout set defines...
