How can I make my UIPickerView show labels after the selected value?

Question

Right now, the selecter just shows the data being selected. I want it to have a word after the selected value, the same way the iPhone clock app has \"hours\" and \"min\" a

Here, I got proper answer for this question(I have did it for one component change it as per your requirement) take a look: you need to implement the method:

-(UIView *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView viewForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component reusingView:(UIView *)view
{
   //set your View. Here is an example .. 
UIView *pickerviewtemp=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];

    UILabel *lbl=[[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 50)]autorelease];
    [lbl setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
    [lbl setText:[array_from objectAtIndex:row]];
    [lbl setFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:16]];
    [pickerviewtemp addSubview:lbl];


    return pickerviewtemp;

}

Take a int variable in .h file named lastSelectedIndex

- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component
{  
    UILabel *label = (UILabel*)[pickerView viewWithTag:999+(component*lastSelectedIndex)]; // you can set your own tag...
    [label removeFromSuperview];
    UIView *view = [pickerView viewForRow:row forComponent:component];
    UILabel *lbl2=[[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(110, 0, 50, 50)]autorelease];
    lbl2.tag =  999+(component*row);
    [lbl2 setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
    [lbl2 setText:@yourtext"];
    [lbl2 setFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:16]];
    [view addSubview:lbl2];
    lastSelectedIndex = row;
}

I have tested it. Hope it will help you.... :)
