Setting the Datepicker in IOS to pick only the Month and Year

Question

Is there any way possible to set a UIDatePicker in XCode-Interface Builder to just use the rollers of the "month" and "year" without the "day"? I've tried checking the file properties in the IB yet failed to find a solution for my problem...

Solution 1

Your question mentions date and year so I it seemed like UIDatePickerModeDate would suffice but as you are looking for month and year which is not an available option. I suggest you consider using a two component UIPickerView object.

Original Answer

You can do this by changing the Mode property under Date Picker to Date in the Attributes Inspector in the right bar ( Cmd + Option + 4 ). You can also do this programmatically,

datePicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;

Solution 2

I don't think this is possible using the standard UIDatePicker. If you have a look at the documentation it makes it clear that only four modes are available:

• UIDatePickerModeTime,
• UIDatePickerModeDate,
• UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime,
• UIDatePickerModeCountDownTimer

You may have to create your own.

Solution 3

You can use this Month and Year picker realization

Thanks Deepak, but this mode shows the "day" roller as well... I would like to only display the Month and Year.

UIDatePickerModeDate - Displays month, day, and year depending on the locale setting (e.g. November | 15 | 2007)
