Below is how I am displaying the date picker.

- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{


    self.activeTextField = textField;

    // Create a date picker for the date field.
    UIDatePicker *datePicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc]init];
    datePicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;
    datePicker.minimumDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:-31536000];
    [datePicker setDate:[NSDate date]];
    [datePicker addTarget:self action:@selector(updateDateField:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];

    // If the date field has focus, display a date picker instead of keyboard.
    // Set the text to the date currently displayed by the picker.
    if (textField.tag == 1)
    {
    self.date.inputView = datePicker;
    self.date.text = [self formatDate:datePicker.date];
    }   
}


// Called when the date picker changes.
- (void)updateDateField:(id)sender
{
    UIDatePicker *picker = (UIDatePicker*)self.date.inputView;
    self.date.text = [self formatDate:picker.date];
}


// Formats the date chosen with the date picker.
- (NSString *)formatDate:(NSDate *)date
{
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM'/'dd'/'yyyy"];
    NSString *formattedDate = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
    return formattedDate;
}
