iOS datepicker error

[Emma Wedi]

Hello,

Am trying to implement ios datepicker(spinner) but it does not work but rather

displays a button on which you have to tap before the picker displays in the form of a modal.

Please any help on implementing ios native spinner datepicker

Thank you

Attached are images to demonstrate

Hi,

This should work, I think

        Form hi = new Form("Test", new BorderLayout());
        Container center = new Container(BoxLayout.y());
        Picker startDateTimePicker = new Picker();
        startDateTimePicker.setType(Display.PICKER_TYPE_DATE_AND_TIME);
        startDateTimePicker.setDate(new Date());
        center.add(startDateTimePicker);
        hi.add(BorderLayout.CENTER, center);
        hi.show();

We don't support showing the picker without the button first. It's an API we used to have but there are portability issues involved since picker acts very differently when running on different OSs.

When building with xcode 11.3, the datepicker works perfectly fine but when the build is done with 14.2 the datepicker malfunctions and apple needs builds to be done with 14 and above before it can be pushed to the appstore

We changed the default on iOS to be the lightweight picker which should resolve this issue.

Hello,

We are having issues implementing the lightweight picker and would like to 

implement native ios pickers in the application.

Could you please reconfigure your services to accept native ios pickers.

Thank you

Hi,
Native pickers break with every release of iOS. As a result we deprecated them on iOS. I'm not sure if we'll fix them.

Our picker has a calendar mode which might be more similar to what you're trying to achieve.

You can explicitly force native pickers to work by invoking the set default method on the picker but I would recommend against it.

Hello Shai,

Thank you for the reply.

Implementing the codename one picker does not give us buttons to accept the value chosen.

Image reference below, How do we get the buttons to display

That's strange.  I've looked through the code and don't see any path that would result in the "Done" and "Cancel" buttons not appearing.  Does this problem only show up on device, or can you reproduce in the simulator.  If you can reproduce in the simulator, then take a look in the Component inspector and see if the buttons appear.  

Notice the "PickerButtonBar" container, and the "PIckerButton" buttons there.  

All I can think is that your theme is overriding the color, font or size of the PickerButton UIID (which extends Button).  Try explicitly setting the style on PickerButton to something that would stand out.
