Answer 1

-(void) dateTextField:(id)sender
{
UIDatePicker *picker = (UIDatePicker*) dateOfBirthField.inputView;
// [picker setMaximumDate:[NSDate date]];
[picker setMinimumDate:[NSDate date]];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
NSDate *eventDate = picker.date;
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"yyyy/MM/dd"];
NSString *dateString = [dateFormat stringFromDate:eventDate];
dateOfBirthField.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",dateString];
}

MDDatePickerDialog class uses MDCalendar to manage its minimum date. If you will look at the implementation of MDCalendar you will find following implementation in initialize method:
_maximumDate = [NSDateHelper mdDateWithYear:2037 month:12 day:31];
First try setting this date to a static value of your choice to see this is the required variable, then you can move this property declaration to header file of MDCalendar to make this maximumDate variable accessible outside the class. As a next step you can make a property in MDDatePickerDialog to set maximum date in the same way it sets minimum date.
A part from MDDatePicker.m file
- (void)setMinimumDate:(NSDate *)minimumDate {
self.calendar.minimumDate = minimumDate;
}
P.S. Remember to handle the date validations like date should be valid and maximum date should not be earlier than minimum date etc.
Hope that helps!

You just have to add date whatever you want to make maximum, here I have to make only a week date should be selected from the current date, So here is the code which I've written, where you show the date picker just add one line:
- _datePicker.maximumDate = [[NSDate date] dateByAddingTimeInterval:60*60*24*7]; ;
After that search this method into MDCalender.m file and replace with this code.
- (BOOL)shouldSelectDate:(NSDate *)date {
BOOL result;
if ([self.maximumDate timeIntervalSince1970] >= date.timeIntervalSince1970 ) {
result =
(date.timeIntervalSince1970 >= self.minimumDate.timeIntervalSince1970);
return result;
}
return result;
}
It worked for me. Thanks
