regarding date picker iOS - ios

Question

I need a datepicker to appear on the tap of a textfield. I have managed to to that. Now I have two problems:
1. It shows date and time both. I need only date.
2. I need the picker to disappear if I tap somewhere in the background.
My code is:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIDatePicker *datePicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc]init];
datePicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;
[datePicker setDate:[NSDate date]];
[datePicker addTarget:self action:#selector(updateTextField:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[self.text1 setInputView:datePicker];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
-(void)updateTextField:(id)sender
{
UIDatePicker *picker = (UIDatePicker*)self.text1.inputView;
self.text1.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",picker.date];
}
I have used datePicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate; but still I'm getting the time as well. Can anyone please help?

Answer 1

NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd"];
NSString *yeardate = [dateFormat stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
//Set this yeardate to your datepicker.
[datePicker setDate:[dateFormat dateFromString:yeardate]];
Hope this helps.

You are assigning the description of date to textField, use NSDateFormatter to convert the date from datePicker.
To dismiss you can add a tapGestureRecognizer to your view or you can add an accessoryInputView to your textField
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UITapGestureRecognizer *tapRecognizer = [UITapGestureRecognizer new];
[tapRecognizer addTarget:self action:#selector(didTapView:)];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:tapRecognizer];
}
- (void)didTapView:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)tapRecognizer{
[self.textField resignFirstResponder];
}
OR
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIToolbar *toolbar =[[UIToolbar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0, self.view.frame.size.width,44)];
toolbar.barStyle =UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
UIBarButtonItem *cancelButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel
target:self
action:#selector(cancelButtonPressed:)];
UIBarButtonItem *flexibleSpace =[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace
target:self
action:nil];
UIBarButtonItem *doneButton =[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone
target:self
action:#selector(doneButtonPressed:)];
[toolbar setItems:#[cancelButton,flexibleSpace, doneButton]];
_activeTextField.inputAccessoryView = toolbar;
}
