conversion from NSTimeInterval to hour,minutes,seconds,milliseconds in swift


My code is here:

func stringFromTimeInterval(interval:NSTimeInterval) -> NSString {

    var ti = NSInteger(interval)
    var ms = ti * 1000
    var seconds = ti % 60
    var minutes = (ti / 60) % 60
    var hours = (ti / 3600)

      return NSString(format: "%0.2d:%0.2d:%0.2d",hours,minutes,seconds,ms)
}

in output the milliseconds give wrong result.Please give an idea how to find milliseconds correctly.


Solution

  • Swift supports remainder calculations on floating-point numbers, so we can use % 1.

    var ms = Int((interval % 1) * 1000)
    

    as in:

    func stringFromTimeInterval(interval: TimeInterval) -> NSString {
    
      let ti = NSInteger(interval)
    
      let ms = Int((interval % 1) * 1000)
    
      let seconds = ti % 60
      let minutes = (ti / 60) % 60
      let hours = (ti / 3600)
    
      return NSString(format: "%0.2d:%0.2d:%0.2d.%0.3d",hours,minutes,seconds,ms)
    }
    

    result:

    stringFromTimeInterval(12345.67)                   "03:25:45.670"
    

    Swift 4:

    extension TimeInterval{
    
            func stringFromTimeInterval() -> String {
    
                let time = NSInteger(self)
    
                let ms = Int((self.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 1)) * 1000)
                let seconds = time % 60
                let minutes = (time / 60) % 60
                let hours = (time / 3600)
    
                return String(format: "%0.2d:%0.2d:%0.2d.%0.3d",hours,minutes,seconds,ms)
    
            }
        }
    

    Use:

    self.timeLabel.text = player.duration.stringFromTimeInterval()
