copied!<p>You could use the <code>UITextField</code> input view property. Just alloc init a regular <code>UIDatePicker</code> in code and assign it to the textfield's inputView. Doing this, the <code>UIPickerView</code> will be presented instead of the keyboard. If you need any code feel free to ask :)</p> <p>EDIT: code</p> <p>You fist hook up your <code>textField</code> with IB</p> <pre><code>@interface myViewController <UITextFieldDelegate> @property (nonatomic,weak) IBOutlet UITextField *myTextField; @end </code></pre> <p>In the implementation </p> <pre><code>UIDatePicker *datePicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc]init]; [datePicker setDate:[NSDate date]]; [datePicker addTarget:self action:@selector(updateTextField:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged]; [self.myTextField setInputView:datePicker]; </code></pre> <p>That will bring up a <code>UIDatePicker</code> when you tap on the <code>textField</code>. Note the action that I added to the datePicker.</p> <pre><code>[datePicker addTarget:self action:@selector(updateTextField:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged]; </code></pre> <p>To update the textField each time that the user scrolls in the picker, you just need to implement the <code>updateTextField</code> method somewhere in the <code>viewController</code></p> <pre><code>-(void)updateTextField:(id)sender { UIDatePicker *picker = (UIDatePicker*)self.myTextField.inputView; self.myTextField.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",picker.date]; } </code></pre> <p>With this last method, every time the user rotates the picker, the textfield will update!</p> <ul> <li>You could use a <code>NSDateFormatter</code> to improve the output of the string. </li> </ul>
