I am struggling with the UIDatePicker on iPad. The setDate or .date assignment makes the DatePicker empty:
UIDatePicker * dtVCpicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
dtVCpicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime;
dtVCpicker.date = [NSDate date];
dtVCpicker.minimumDate = [NSDate date];
[self.view.window addSubview:dtVCpicker];
if I change the mode to UIDatePickerModeDate or UIDatePickerModeTime then it would look normal.
Thanks a lot for your answers!
The problem is with the line:
dtVCpicker.date = [NSDate date];
This causes the UIDatePicker with UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime to break (probably a bug). However, this line is needless, since the date picker is by default set to current date.
To sum up, in my code I simply solve the issue by removing the above line. Of course, it is still possible to set the date of the picker, but in the other method.
I implemented the work-around for this issue: setting the dtVCpicker.date inside the viewDidLoad made the Picker displayable.
In my existing code, I just added the picker inside a Popup, and so viewDidLoad wasn't called when the Popup displays. So I created a view that contains the picker, and put the view inside the Popup (and put the setDate in the viewDidLoad). It works.
