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.

I am showing pickerView on input field click it worked fine on other iOS but when I updated to iOS 8 it did not work. When i click on input field it does not show up the date picker.
Here is the code I am using.
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)aTextField{
appDelegate.recentAddSowID = #"";
if (aTextField == dateTextField) {
[dateTextField resignFirstResponder];
pickerViewPopup = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"" destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
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];
[pickerView addTarget:self action:#selector(updateTextField:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[dateTextField setInputView:pickerView];
[pickerViewPopup showInView:self.view];
[pickerViewPopup setBounds:CGRectMake(0,0,320, 464)];
}
}
I am testing on iPhone 5S.
They changed the implementation of UIActionSheet in iOS 8. You can no longer add views to its view hierarchy
The documentation (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/Reference/UIActionSheet_Class/index.html) states:
UIActionSheet is not designed to be subclassed, nor should you add views to its hierarchy. If you need to present a sheet with more customization than provided by the UIActionSheet API, you can create your own and present it modally with presentViewController:animated:completion:.
Also, the UIActionSheet is deprecated in iOS 8
Important: UIActionSheet is deprecated in iOS 8. (Note that UIActionSheetDelegate is also deprecated.) To create and manage action sheets in iOS 8 and later, instead use UIAlertController with a preferredStyle of UIAlertControllerStyleActionSheet.
As an alternative, try this: https://github.com/skywinder/ActionSheetPicker-3.0. It works with iOS 8 and might be what you need
Source: Add UIPickerView in UIActionSheet from IOS 8 not working
I have this method to create an action sheet and uipicker:
-(void)presentNewPicker{
self.aac = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:#"What City?"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:nil
destructiveButtonTitle:nil
otherButtonTitles:#"OK", nil];
self.pickrView = [[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 44.0, 0.0, 0.0)];
self.pickrView.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;
self.pickrView.dataSource = self;
self.pickrView.delegate = self;
self.cityNames = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: #"Phoenix", #"Tahoe", #"Nevada", #"Lime", #"Florida", nil];
UIToolbar *pickerDateToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
pickerDateToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
[pickerDateToolbar 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(dismissActionSheet:)];
[barItems addObject:doneBtn];
[pickerDateToolbar setItems:barItems animated:YES];
[self.aac addSubview:pickerDateToolbar];
[self.aac addSubview:self.pickrView];
[self.aac showInView:self.view];
[self.aac setBounds:CGRectMake(0,0,320, 464)];
}
The button that appears reads DONE but I want to modify it to read, Ready. How do I accomplish this?
Replace:
UIBarButtonItem *doneBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:#selector(dismissActionSheet:)];
with:
UIBarButtonItem *doneBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Ready" style: UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(dismissActionSheet:)];
You may want to use UIBarButtonItemStyleDone for the style.
I don't know what you want to do, but you might be interested in using the inputView and inputAccessoryView for one of your uiviews, to replace the keyboard. That'll give you the animations for free, and a place to put a toolbar. Some answers that might help: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6075062/220820

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
Sorry for asking such a stupid question but I dont know why my UIPickerView with done button is not appearing at the correct place. I am using the following code but I dont know why I am getting such issue.
actionSheet=[[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:#"" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
UIToolbar *pickerToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0,320,40)];
[pickerToolbar sizeToFit];
pickerToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;
NSMutableArray *barItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
UIBarButtonItem *cancelBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Cancel" style:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel target:self action:#selector(cancelButtonTapped:)];
[barItems addObject:cancelBtn];
UIBarButtonItem *flexSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
[barItems addObject:flexSpace];
UIBarButtonItem *doneBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Done" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(doneButtonTapped:)];
[barItems addObject:doneBtn];
[pickerToolbar setItems:barItems animated:YES];
[actionSheet addSubview:pickerToolbar];
//-----------
maritalStatusPickerView = [[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 44, 320, 216)];
maritalStatusPickerView.delegate = self;
maritalStatusPickerView.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;
[actionSheet addSubview:maritalStatusPickerView];
[actionSheet showInView:self];
use below code
actionSheet=[[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:#"" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
actionSheet.frame = CGRectMake(0, 234, 320, 256);
UIToolbar *pickerToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0,320,40)];
[pickerToolbar sizeToFit];
pickerToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;
NSMutableArray *barItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
UIBarButtonItem *cancelBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Cancel" style:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel target:self action:#selector(cancelButtonTapped:)];
[barItems addObject:cancelBtn];
UIBarButtonItem *flexSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
[barItems addObject:flexSpace];
UIBarButtonItem *doneBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Done" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(doneButtonTapped:)];
[barItems addObject:doneBtn];
[pickerToolbar setItems:barItems animated:YES];
[actionSheet addSubview:pickerToolbar];
//-----------
maritalStatusPickerView = [[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 44, 320, 216)];
maritalStatusPickerView.delegate = self;
maritalStatusPickerView.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;
// [self addSubview:maritalStatusPickerView];
[actionSheet addSubview:maritalStatusPickerView];
[self.view addSubview:actionSheet];
Why you are adding maritalStatusPickerView 2 times
[self addSubview:maritalStatusPickerView];
[actionSheet addSubview:maritalStatusPickerView];
Just include the frame of actionsheet to your code after initialization
actionSheet.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 256);
refer this question
you have to add your action sheet in your view, and change the co-Ordinate if you want to open pickerview from bottom of view.
[actionSheet addSubview:maritalStatusPickerView];
//Replace this : [actionSheet showInView:self];
[self.view addSubview:actionSheet];
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")
