I am building an iOS app.I am using storyboards to build the screens and i have made a form which contain some fields like Name,Date,min and max.
I am facing an problem that is not able to implement date picker on button click and when user select the date,date picker hide,want to display selected date in a label.
I googled but could not find a good tutorial or library.
I want to show only days and date in picker.
-(IBAction)datePickerBtnAction:(id)sender
{
datePicker =[[UIDatePicker alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0,10, 50)];
datePicker.datePickerMode=UIDatePickerModeDate;
datePicker.hidden=NO;
datePicker.date=[NSDate date];
[datePicker addTarget:self action:@selector(LabelTitle:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[self.view addSubview:datePicker];
rightBtn=[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Done" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:@selector(save:)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem=rightBtn;
}
-(void)LabelTitle:(id)sender
{
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat=[[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
dateFormat.dateStyle=NSDateFormatterMediumStyle;
[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];
NSString *str=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[dateFormat stringFromDate:datePicker.date]];
//assign text to label
label.text=str;
}
-(void)save:(id)sender
{
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem=nil;
[datePicker removeFromSuperview];
}
Try this:
- (IBAction)date:(id)sender {
datepicker=[[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 250, 325, 300)];
datepicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;
datepicker.hidden = NO;
datepicker.date = [NSDate date];
[datepicker addTarget:self
action:@selector(LabelChange:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[self.view addSubview:datepicker]; //this can set value of selected date to your label change according to your condition
NSDateFormatter * df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[df setDateFormat:@"M-d-yyyy"]; // from here u can change format..
_selectedDate.text=[df stringFromDate:datepicker.date];
}
- (void)LabelChange:(id)sender{
NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[df setDateFormat:@"M-d-yyyy"];
_selectedDate.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",
[df stringFromDate:datepicker.date]];
[datepicker removeFromSuperview];
}
You can use various controls form this

Add hidden textfield view and configure the date picker.
[self.xTextFeild setInputView:_datePicker];
Then
When ever you want call below code.
[self.xTextFeild becomeFirstResponder];
