iOS UIDatePicker display without time

Question

I would like to have a Date Picker with only one wheel, filled with days as on the Date and Time mode.

If I choose the Date mode, I have 3 wheels and I loose the name of the day. In fact I would like something like the date and time mode, but only with the date.

I could use a UIPickerView, but I would have to fill it by myself with a very big array of data, as I want to be able go back far in time. With the Date picker, it's filled automatically, which is cool.

Is there a solution ?

Answer 1

You can also use UIDatePicker's pickerMode property to do that.

datePicker.pickerMode = .Date

Look into header file, you will see that there are few other Options that you can play with. Other values are;

 Time
 Date
 DateAndTime
 CountDownTimer

Answer 2

You should use the UIPickerView instead of the UIDatePicker. There is no possibility to customise UIDatePicker in the way you want.
