Thanks for your control. This is really helpful.
Now I am trying to implement this with Swift. I am not sure how do I use following property.

@Property (nonatomic, copy) void (^selectButtonAction)(RMDateSelectionViewController *controller, NSDate *date);

Thanks in advance.

platform :ios, '8.0'
pod "RMDateSelectionViewController", "~> 2.0.0"

Result:

[!] Unable to satisfy the following requirements:

• RMDateSelectionViewController (~> 2.0.0) required by Podfile

This component works perfectly on iPhones (iOS 7 and 8) and on iPad with iOS7.
But on iPad iOS8, the View with the DatePicker is not shown. Only the screen gets a little darker on the view below.
Here is the code I wrote :

RMDateSelectionViewController *dateSelectionVC = [RMDateSelectionViewController dateSelectionController];
dateSelectionVC.delegate = self;

[dateSelectionVC show];

Note : As I don't have an iPad under iOS 8 yet, I tested it within the simulator.

On an iPad this control should be in a popover style.
An example of this using your showFromViewController: method would be helpful for universal apps.

How can I add year column in this picker ?

If the DatePicker is presented inside a tab bar controller the buttons are hidden underneath the tab bar.

Here's the stack trace, which occurs when I call

let dateSelectionController = RMDateSelectionViewController.dateSelectionController()
dateSelectionController.delegate = self
dateSelectionController.show()

Stack trace:

Really nice control. I've embedded it into my custom UITableViewCell and have had several requests now for people asking how they can "clear" the date/time value in the cell.

Unlike a regular UITextField that provides that tiny 'x' icon to clear its field, my thought for your control was to put in a simple "Clear" button that would return an empty string, and thus erasing any value within the cell.

Thoughts?

Great project looking to implement with a project am working on!!

Would it be possible to support podfile for easy integration and update?

This might be Apple UIDatePicker issue as well.

While the picker is animating, if user tap on "Select", UI seems wait for a while to let datePicker settle down to the final value, but the return value will still show the original value.

Tried capturing value through UIControlEventValueChanged, seems it able to return the final value even if DateSelectionViewController is dismissed.

I'm not sure how it could be patched in the component itself since UIDatePicker doesn't expose much info about the UI. Maybe you have some better idea.

Hi,
How I can display a format like this: 'DD/MM/YYYY' and 'YYYY/MM/DD'?

iPad only it seems. (device, not simulator)

Tapping outside to have it dismiss and then tapping back on the cell brings it back fine.
On the simulator it's delayed in it's reappearance, but at least it still works.

This is on my iPad mini Retina. iOS 8.1

To reproduce:
start demo project
rotate in landscape mode
press "Show date..."

If I rotate after showing the control - all works as expected.

If i set datePickerMode to UIDatePickerModeDate it gives me wrong outputs for April, May, June, July, August, September and October.

Here are the samples

March 1 2001 -> Successfully selected date: 2001-03-01 00:00:00 +0000 True
April 1 2001 -> Successfully selected date: 2001-03-31 23:00:00 +0000 False
May 1 2001 -> Successfully selected date: 2001-04-30 23:00:00 +0000 False
June 1 2001 -> Successfully selected date: 2001-05-31 23:00:00 +0000 False
July 1 2001 -> Successfully selected date: 2001-06-30 23:00:00 +0000 False
August 1 2001 -> Successfully selected date: 2001-07-31 23:00:00 +0000 False
September 1 2001 -> Successfully selected date: 2001-08-31 23:00:00 +0000 False
October 1 2001 -> Successfully selected date: 2001-09-30 23:00:00 +0000 False
November 1 2001 -> Successfully selected date: 2001-11-01 00:00:00 +0000 True

How can we solve? I tried some adding timezone or changing time interval property but it does not work.

Parser stops says: Unknown type name 'UIBlurEffectStyle'

UIBlurEffectStyle is only available on iOS 8 and later, but I am still on 7

Cannot find interface NSDate in RMSelectedDate.m error

I copied the updated code and I got this. I have a guess that it might be something to do with datePickerContainer and datePicker.

How to change the UIdatapicker's text color? That is the date time color, it is black by default. I want red, is it possible?

When I put my phone in landscape orientation and then show the date selector, it shows up in the middle of the view and it's cut-off, only showing a portion of the selector.

It works fine if I show the selector in portrait and then turn the device to landscape, but not if I show the selector from in landscape mode.

Extra space misaligning the buttons.

I think that the dateSelectionViewControllerDidCancel: delegate method should be an optional method.

For many use cases, the cancel button should do nothing but dismiss the date selector, which is done by default, so I'm being required to implement a method with no functionality.

I'd be happy to make the changes and submit a pull request if you would like?

Otherwise, this is a great library. Thanks so much!

Following a Pod update I get the error "Cannot find protocol declaration for RMDateSelectionViewControllerDelegate" on the following interface:

@interface HHCreateTaskViewController () <UITextViewDelegate, RMDateSelectionViewControllerDelegate>

When I cmd-click RMDateSelectionViewControllerDelegate I get "Symbol not found". The library is imported in the controller with the following line:

import "RMDateSelectionViewController.h"

And the Podfile:
platform :ios, '8.0'
pod 'RMDateSelectionViewController'

I tried cleaning the project folder, restarting Xcode etc.

When you call [dateSelectionVC show]in a modal view controller the date selection view controller is shown behind it.

For iOS 7 support, I'm using 1.4.3 as advised in docs.
Its working well when i switch to landscape from portrait but unable to adjust frame when i open it in landscape.

let dateSelectionViewController = RMDateSelectionViewController.dateSelectionController()
dateSelectionViewController.show()

will work perfectly inside an app, but will not show the controller inside an app extension.

the view has a button whose target is linked to 'openDateSelectionController'，view contronller has realized Delegates of RMDAteSelectionViewController .Then i touch the button,the method of 'openDateSelectionController' is being carried out，but datapicker does not display on the view！

The error cause by this line

Change to #import <RMActionController/RMActionController.h> solve the issue

P.S.Same issue at RMPickerViewController

The common way to make this works is to check for a macro APP_EXTENSION=1 defined in extension targets and encapsulate sharedApplication calls in this condition.

I notice that all the call are for either status bar or orientation, which are pretty useless in app extensions (Apple messed up on this).

Hi,

Is there any way to hide status bar? My app doesn't show status bar, but when I will show date selector, this appears and breaks design.

Thanks!

RMDateSelectionViewController relies on UIWindow for presentation. But an App Extension cannot present new UIWindows. Thus, RMDateSelectionViewController is incompatible with App Extensions. This should be fixed...

Settings > General > Accessibility > Increase Contrast > Reduce Transparency > Enable

I try to fix but no idea. Any solutions? The same problem happens in RMPickerViewController.
Thanks!

How can I use this as the inputView of a textfield that is in my custom tableview cell?

If you start in portrait mode and then rotate it on landscape, when you click to open the controller, it shows with the portrait frame size.

I got this exception when using swift :
* Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '* +[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:attribute:relatedBy:toItem:attribute:multiplier:constant:]: A multiplier of 0 or a nil second item together with a location for the first attribute creates an illegal constraint of a location equal to a constant.

I would like to a button which has "Don't select an End Date", I have this as a full width button in an action sheet at the moment, but I need to upgrade, is there anyway I can add a full width button.

I thought I could re-use the now button and move it underneath the picker, but I can't :(

Any thoughts ?

Maybe I'm not getting something, but I can't use the setLocalized* methods.

Hi,

I'm experiencing a crash with the following exception:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Could not load NIB in bundle: 'NSBundle </../appname.app> (loaded)' with name 'RMDateSelectionViewController''

I'm using a pod file with the line:

Not sure what's going on yet, but I can see RMDateSelectionViewController.xib exists.

Hi. im trying to use this library in swift, however i get this error:
NSAssert(self.contentView != nil, @"Error: The view of an RMActionController has been loaded before a contentView has been set. You have to set the contentView before presenting a RMActionController.");

Any ideas?

    let selectAction = RMAction(title: AppearanceService.textById(Texts.Ok), style: RMActionStyle.Done, andHandler: { (actionController) -> Void in

    })
    let cancelAction = RMAction(title: AppearanceService.textById(Texts.Cancel), style: RMActionStyle.Done, andHandler: { (actionController) -> Void in

    })
    let dateSelectionController = RMActionController(style: RMActionControllerStyle.White, selectAction: selectAction, andCancelAction: cancelAction)
    presentViewController(dateSelectionController, animated: true, completion: nil)
