Gregorian to Hijri (vise versa)

Question

The source code is come from

Hijri (islamic) calendar in swift التاريخ الهجري

How can I convert string date to NSDate?

I just put them together but it has some mistake with the output

    let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()

    dateFormatter.dateFormat = "YYYY-MM-DD"

    let GregorianDate = dateFormatter.dateFromString("\(Yeartext1.text!)-\(Monthtext1.text!)-\(Daytext1.text!)")

    let islamic = NSCalendar(identifier: NSIslamicCalendar)

    let components = islamic?.components(NSCalendarUnit(rawValue: UInt.max), fromDate: GregorianDate!)

    resultlable.text = "\(components!.year) - \(components!.month) - \(components!.day)"

For Example , the user will enter a gregorian date (2015/09/29) and it will show the Hijri year (1436/12/15) .

but the result in this code is wrong .

Don't just ask us to write code for you. What have you tried? Please post your work-in-progress Swift implementation. — JAL, Sep 25 '15 at 14:43
I would set the locale to Gregorian, create a universal timestamp from the Gregorian input, set the locale to Hijri, then create Hijri output from the universal timestamp. — Yimin Rong, Sep 25 '15 at 14:52

You should use NSDate and NSDateFormatter for date conversions.

This question might help you.

Apple's documentation also gives a lot of useful information.
