How to display UIDatePicker if user hit the UITextfield Programmatically

Question

I\'d like to Display UIDatePicker only when user the UITextField is Clicked. When the date is picked, it should be shown in the same UITextField.I want to implement UIDatePicker

Answer 1

The easiest way is to implement the datePicker is as following:

Create the datePicker:

self.datePicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
[self.datePicker setDatePickerMode:UIDatePickerModeDate];
[self.datePicker addTarget:self action:@selector(onDatePickerValueChanged:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];

Then link the datePicker to the textfield inputView:

self.textField.inputView = self.pickerView;

In the end you can catch the action when a date was picked, and convert the date to a string, to show the selected date in the textField

- (void)onDatePickerValueChanged:(UIDatePicker *)datePicker
{
    self.textField.text = [self.dateFormatter stringFromDate:datePicker.date];
}
