Getting wrong time using NSDateFormatter

When i am 

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"HH:mm"]

using to fetch the current hour i am getting correct time till 12:59 but after that it again starts from 1:00 i.e. 12:59 is displayed as 12:59 but 14:00 is displyed as 2:00.

Please let me if anyone is also having a similar problem and suggest a solution.

Thanks

Try this code

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"hh:mm:ss"];

HH : 24 hour format

hh : 12 hour format

So in your case

//after conversion to date

if ON

[formatter setDateFormat:@"YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];

if OFF

[formatter setDateFormat:@"YYYY-MM-dd hh:mm:ss a"];

Hope it works for you.

Set your dateformat to 

[dateFormatter setDateformat:@"HH:MM a"];

You can use 

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"H:mm"]

for 24 hour time format

Use this one

NSDate *date = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"YYYY-MM-dd kk:mm:ss"];
[dateFormatter setLocale:[NSLocale currentLocale]];

NSString *dateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];

Please check the code below.

    NSDateFormatter *dateFormator = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    dateFormator.dateStyle = NSDateFormatterMediumStyle;
    dateFormator.dateFormat=@"HH:mm:ss";
    NSCalendar * calender=[[NSCalendar alloc]initWithCalendarIdentifier:[NSGregorianCalendar autorelease]];
    NSDateComponents * component=[calender components:NSHourCalendarUnit|NSMinuteCalendarUnit fromDate:date];

I agree with 

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"HH:mm"]

should give you the time in 24 Hours. But this doesn't work if the user set 24 hour to off. Despite using HH in a format string, the user setting overrides this. This might be the problem in your case!
