Question

If I am selecting date from date picker view for current date, the time is also getting selected and displaying the current time, I want to separate in two different selection event
Here is my code snippet-
/* Button for displaying UIDatePicker view */
-(void) dueDateChanged:(UIDatePicker *)sender {
NSDateFormatter* dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd MMM, yyyy"];
self.lbl_StartDateValue.text = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[sender date]];
self.planStartDate = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[sender date]];
NSDate *date = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] dateByAddingComponents:dateComponents toDate:[dateFormatter dateFromString:[dateFormatter stringFromDate:[sender date]]] options:0];
self.lbl_EndDateValue.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"End %#",[dateFormatter stringFromDate:date]];
self.planEndDate = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
}
// Here I am not able to differentiate the selection of two picker view
-(void)onDoneButtonClick {
[self dueDateChanged:self.picker];
[self dueTimeChanged:self.picker];
[self.toolbar removeFromSuperview];
[self.picker removeFromSuperview];
[self.tempBackgroundView removeFromSuperview];
}
-(void) dueTimeChanged:(UIDatePicker *)sender {
NSDateFormatter* dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"hh:mm a"];
self.lbl_timeValue.text = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[sender date]];
self.planAlarmtime = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[sender date]];

Answer 1

do like , initially set the current date on your text field whenever user present the date picker
(IBAction)btn_calendar_event:(id)sender {
......
[self.toolbar sizeToFit];
[self.view addSubview:self.toolbar];
//if you want to show the default date as current date
self.picker.date = [NSDate date];
// set inital date on your textfield
[self dueDateChanged : self.picker];
}
if user pressed the done button then call this
-(void)onDoneButtonClick {
// call the method
[self dueDateChanged : self.picker];
[self.toolbar removeFromSuperview];
[self.picker removeFromSuperview];
[_txtf_birthDate resignFirstResponder];
}
finally change the YYYY format
-(void) dueDateChanged:(UIDatePicker *)sender {
NSDateFormatter* dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd"];
NSLog(#"Picked the date %#", [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[sender date]]);
_txtf_birthDate.text = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[sender date]];
}

Answer 2

Just set minimum data as your current date
[self.picker setMinimumDate:[NSDate date]];
also you will not select until you scroll Picker
if you want to show the default date as current date
self.picker.date = [NSDate date]

this is the code for UIDatepicker alloca and set current date
UIDatePicker *datepicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, self.view.frame.size.height-320, self.view.frame.size.width, 320)];
datepicker.date = [NSDate date];
[self.view addSubview:datepicker];
