iOS Date Picker with Day of Week Instead of Full Date

Question

I would like to have an iOS date picker that allows the user to select a day of week and time. For example: Wednesday 12:00 PM. I do not need to display the month or the day of the month like below. Does anyone know how to just allow the user to set only a day of the week and time? Thank you!

Solution 1

In default IOS Date picker, it is not posible. but if you still want this kind of picker then you need to use simple picker and add logic in it, i mean make it custom according to your requirement.

Solution 2

I don't think you can customize UIDatePicker to show week days. I think you can use UIPickerView and create your own date picker.

See user Igor's answer in this question to learn how to customize UIPickerView.

Solution 3

if you want to pick day from a date picker then write only

[dateFormat setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterFullStyle];

Hi, sorry for the shameless self-promotion but I created a library to do something similar - it shows the day of the week alongside the full date. Try it out here if you like: github.com/hughbe/Day-Date-Picker
