UIPicker iPhone SDK - Populated with Year

UIPicker iPhone SDK - Populated with Year

I have a little code I was about to delete, but the snippet is better of it is online somewhere. Its not amazing, but it is searchable!

Objective-C code to create an array of all years since 1960. Perfect for input into a UIPicker

//Get Current Year into i2

NSDateFormatter* formatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]autorelease];

[formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy"];

int i2  = [[formatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]] intValue];

//Create Years Array from 1960 to This year

years = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

for (int i=1960; i<=i2; i++) {

[years addObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",i]];

}

The UIPickerView Delegate Responses

- (NSInteger)numberOfComponentsInPickerView: (UIPickerView*)thePickerView {

return 1;

}

- (NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:(NSInteger)component

{

return [years count];

}

- (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView

titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component

{

return [years objectAtIndex:row];

}

Dont forget the declaration in the interface

//Data

NSMutableArray *years;
