UIDatePicker error on dateSheet showInView - ios

I need to show a datePicker when a textField is clicked.
Here is the code:
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
[self setDate];
return NO;
}
-(void)setDate{
dateSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:Nil delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles: nil];
[dateSheet setActionSheetStyle:UIActionSheetStyleBlackTranslucent];
CGRect pickerFrame = CGRectMake(0, 44, 0, 0);
UIDatePicker *datePicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:pickerFrame];
[datePicker setDatePickerMode:UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime];
NSDate * maxDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:(3600 * 24 * 14)];
datePicker.maximumDate = maxDate;
datePicker.minimumDate = [NSDate date];
[dateSheet addSubview:datePicker];
UIToolbar * controlToolBar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, dateSheet.bounds.size.width, 44)];
[controlToolBar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlack];
[controlToolBar sizeToFit];
UIBarButtonItem *spacer = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
UIBarButtonItem *setButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Imposta" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(dismissDate)];
setButton.tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
UIBarButtonItem *cancelButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Annulla" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(cancelDate)];
cancelButton.tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[controlToolBar setItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:spacer, cancelButton, setButton, nil] animated:NO];
[dateSheet addSubview:controlToolBar];
[dateSheet showInView:self.view];
[dateSheet setBounds:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 485)];
}
When showInView is called, a lot of errors are shown in console:
CGContextSetFillColorWithColor: invalid context 0x0. This is a serious error. This application, or a library it uses, is using an invalid context and is thereby contributing to an overall degradation of system stability and reliability. This notice is a courtesy: please fix this problem. It will become a fatal error in an upcoming update.
Then the same message with:
CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor
CGContextSaveGState
CGContextSetFlatness
CGContextAddPath
CGContextDrawPath
CGContextRestoreGState
Why this happens?

After running your code, I found the problem is caused by the nil title of UIActionSheet.
A workaround is modified as below.
dateSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:#"" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles: nil];
Another good resource for your reference.

Why not see the buttons?

The task is to choose the date for a text field. The development is on the iPad, so I use UIPopover. But I need two buttons on top. I'm trying to do it, but the buttons are not displayed. In what could be the problem?
Please see screenshot:
And the full code:
dateSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
[dateSheet setActionSheetStyle:UIActionSheetStyleBlackTranslucent];
CGRect pickerFrame = CGRectMake(0, 44, 0, 0);
UIDatePicker *dayPicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:pickerFrame];
[dayPicker setDatePickerMode:UIDatePickerModeDate];
[dateSheet addSubview:dayPicker];
[dayPicker release];
UIToolbar *controlToolBar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, dateSheet.bounds.size.width, 44)];
[controlToolBar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent];
[controlToolBar sizeToFit];
UIBarButtonItem *spacer = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
UIBarButtonItem *setButton;
setButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Установить" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(dismissDateStart:)];
setButton.tag = pTag;
UIBarButtonItem *cancelButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Отменить" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(cancelDateStart)];
[controlToolBar setItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:spacer, cancelButton, setButton, nil] animated:NO];
[spacer release];
[setButton release];
[cancelButton release];
UIViewController* popoverContent = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UIView* popoverView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 344)];
popoverView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
dateSheet.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 344);
[popoverView addSubview:dateSheet];
[popoverView addSubview:controlToolBar];
popoverContent.view = popoverView;
popoverContent.contentSizeForViewInPopover = CGSizeMake(320, 244);
popoverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:popoverContent];
[popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:changeDateStartField.frame inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
[popoverView release];
[popoverContent release];
You should change the
UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace
to
UIBarButtonSystemItemFixedSpace
of your spacer button

Custom UIActionSheet squished on iPad

I have read through several similar questions here on stack but so far none of the answers seem to fit. Therefore it must be something so blatantly obvious that I will have to flog myself later once it gets answered.
The code works fine on iPhone but not iPad, the action sheet has little to no height. There is no tool bar and it is fired off a normal UIButton. I have considered a popover however this is a universal app so I would rather not re-wright the same code twice for both iPhone and iPad and try and keep the app as light as possible.
I have tried showFromRect and showFromTabbar.
Thanks
Code:
-(IBAction) setDateTime:(id) sender {
dateSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
[dateSheet setActionSheetStyle:UIActionSheetStyleBlackTranslucent];
CGRect pickerFrame = CGRectMake(0, 44, 0, 0);
UIDatePicker *appointmentDayPicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:pickerFrame];
[appointmentDayPicker setDatePickerMode:UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime];
[dateSheet addSubview:appointmentDayPicker];
[appointmentDayPicker release];
UIToolbar *controlToolBar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, dateSheet.bounds.size.width, 44)];
[controlToolBar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlack];
[controlToolBar sizeToFit];
UIBarButtonItem *spacer = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
UIBarButtonItem *setButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Set" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(dismissDateSet)];
UIBarButtonItem *cancelButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Cancel" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(cancelDateSet)];
[controlToolBar setItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:spacer, cancelButton,setButton, nil] animated:NO];
[spacer release];
[setButton release];
[cancelButton release];
[dateSheet addSubview:controlToolBar];
[controlToolBar release];
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
[dateSheet showFromRect:CGRectMake(100,100, 320, 485) inView:self.view animated:YES];
[dateSheet setBounds:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 485)];
} else {
[dateSheet showInView:self.view];
[dateSheet setBounds:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 485)];
}
}

Date and Time in UIActionsheet Picker

Hi I have a requirement where I need to show date and time in uiactionsheet on an iPad only app.
My google /sof search lead me to the following resource https://github.com/TimCinel/ActionSheetPicker
ActionSheetDatePicker *actionSheetPicker = [[ActionSheetDatePicker alloc] initWithTitle:#"" datePickerMode:UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime selectedDate:[NSDate date] target:self action:#selector(onDateSelected:element:) origin:sender];
actionSheetPicker.hideCancel = YES;
[actionSheetPicker showActionSheetPicker];
It works great except for the life of me I can't find where I can set the minimum , maximum date and intervals.
Please if any one has used this could help that be great. Thank you
Here i am using Actionsheet + UIDatePicker for iPhone/IPod, BUT for iPAD using POPOVERCONTROLLER + UIDATEPICKER.
- (IBAction)showAction:(id)sender
{
aac = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:#""
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:nil
destructiveButtonTitle:nil
otherButtonTitles:nil];
self.dtPicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 44.0, 0.0, 0.0)];
UIToolbar *pickerDateToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
pickerDateToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
[pickerDateToolbar sizeToFit];
NSMutableArray *barItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
UIBarButtonItem *cancelBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel target:self action:#selector(DatePickerCancelClick:)];
[barItems addObject:cancelBtn];
UIBarButtonItem *doneBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:#selector(DatePickerDoneClick:)];
[barItems addObject:doneBtn];
[pickerDateToolbar setItems:barItems animated:NO];
if (IS_IPHONE) {
[aac addSubview:pickerDateToolbar];
[aac addSubview:dtPicker];
[self.view addSubview:aac];
}
else {
UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] init];
[view addSubview:pickerDateToolbar];
[view addSubview:dtPicker];
UIViewController *vc = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
[vc setView:view];
[vc setContentSizeForViewInPopover:CGSizeMake(320, 260)];
popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:vc];
popover.delegate = self;
[popover presentPopoverFromRect:myButton.bounds inView:myButton
permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
}
}
//Hope you got it. Thanks
UIActionSheet *menu = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:#"Date Picker"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel"
destructiveButtonTitle:nil
otherButtonTitles:nil];
// Add the picker
UIDatePicker *pickerView = [[UIDatePicker alloc] init];
pickerView.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime;
[menu addSubview:pickerView];
[menu showInView:self.view];
[menu setBounds:CGRectMake(0,0,320, 300)];
CGRect pickerRect = pickerView.bounds;
pickerRect.origin.y = -100;
pickerView.bounds = pickerRect;
Above code is useful for add UIDatePicker to UIActionSheet. In above code you can display Date and time by using UIDatePicker.
I ended up using this bit of code as per ibiren's suggestion from UIDatePicker in UIPopover thread .
UIViewController* popoverContent = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; //ViewController
UIView *popoverView = [[UIView alloc] init]; //view
popoverView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
UIDatePicker *datePicker=[[UIDatePicker alloc]init];//Date picker
datePicker.frame=CGRectMake(0,44,320, 216);
datePicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime;
[datePicker setMinuteInterval:5];
[datePicker setTag:10];
[datePicker addTarget:self action:#selector(Result) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[popoverView addSubview:datePicker];
popoverContent.view = popoverView;
popoverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:popoverContent];
popoverController.delegate=self;
[popoverContent release];
[popoverController setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(320, 264) animated:NO];
[popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:tempButton.frame inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
//tempButton.frame where you need you can put that frame
I know this answer came up late. But for anyone who would like to use this library…
The new version of ActionSheetDatePicker has the following properties:
NSDate *minimumDate;
NSInteger minuteInterval;
NSCalendar *calendar;
NSTimeZone *timeZone;
NSLocale *locale;
that allow you to modify the basic options of DatePicker as you want.

ios 6: UIDatePicker in the UITextField

I have problems with connecting datepicker with text field. I have tried all solution from stackoverflow but they don't work in ios 6. Can you desribe how to make it, I want to tap on text field and choose date via datepicker.
You should use the inputView property of your UITextField to make the picker show in place of the keyboard. iOS6 will take care of everything for you then (showing the picker with the animation instead of the keyboard, etc).
Note: You will probably want to add some inputAccessoryView too (generally an UIToolBar with some "OK" button in it) to make the user be able to dismiss the picker (the IBAction of your "OK" button will simply call [textField resignFirstResponder] for that to happen of course) as an UIDatePicker does not have any button to validate your input (whereas the keyboard has its "Return Key")
#import "TextfieldwithDatepickerViewController.h"
UIActionSheet *pickerViewPopup;
#implementation TextfieldwithDatepickerViewController
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)aTextField{
[aTextField resignFirstResponder];
pickerViewPopup = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
UIDatePicker *pickerView = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 44, 0, 0)];
pickerView.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;
pickerView.hidden = NO;
pickerView.date = [NSDate date];
UIToolbar *pickerToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
pickerToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
[pickerToolbar sizeToFit];
NSMutableArray *barItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
UIBarButtonItem *flexSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:self action:nil];
[barItems addObject:flexSpace];
UIBarButtonItem *doneBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:#selector(doneButtonPressed:)];
[barItems addObject:doneBtn];
UIBarButtonItem *cancelBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel target:self action:#selector(cancelButtonPressed:)];
[barItems addObject:cancelBtn];
[pickerToolbar setItems:barItems animated:YES];
[pickerViewPopup addSubview:pickerToolbar];
[pickerViewPopup addSubview:pickerView];
[pickerViewPopup showInView:self.view];
[pickerViewPopup setBounds:CGRectMake(0,0,320, 464)];
}
-(void)doneButtonPressed:(id)sender{
//Do something here here with the value selected using [pickerView date] to get that value
[pickerViewPopup dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:1 animated:YES];
}
-(void)cancelButtonPressed:(id)sender{
[pickerViewPopup dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:1 animated:YES];
}

Pickerview for TextField

I have this code, it's inside an action that it's triggered when the user selects the textfield to show the datepicker:
pickerViewPopup = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
pickerView = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 44, 0, 0)];
pickerView.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime;
pickerView.hidden = NO;
pickerView.date = [NSDate date];
UIToolbar *pickerToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
pickerToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;
[pickerToolbar sizeToFit];
NSMutableArray *barItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
UIBarButtonItem *flexSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:self action:nil];
[barItems addObject:flexSpace];
UIBarButtonItem *doneBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Done" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(doneButtonPressed:)];
[barItems addObject:doneBtn];
[pickerToolbar setItems:barItems animated:YES];
[pickerViewPopup addSubview:pickerToolbar];
[pickerViewPopup addSubview:pickerView];
[pickerViewPopup showFromTabBar:self.tabBarController.tabBar];
[pickerViewPopup setBounds:CGRectMake(0,0,320, 500)];
I was using this code in an app with a tab bar for navigation. Now I would like to use it in an app without it, but when the process reaches [pickerViewPopup showFromTabBar:self.tabBarController.tabBar]; it crashes.
Any idea on how I could fix it?
Use one of the following,
– showFromToolbar:
– showInView:
– showFromBarButtonItem:animated:
– showFromRect:inView:animated:
For eg:-
[pickerViewPopup showFromToolbar:pickerToolbar];
The problem was that you dont have a tab bar and you are trying to access the tab bar object to show the picker from it. Since tabbar is nil for you, it will crash.
For more details check the apple documentation.
