Fitting a UIDatePicker into a UIActionSheet

Solution 1:

You can use something like this (adjust the coordinates):

    UIActionSheet *menu = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Date Picker" 
                                                  delegate:self
                                         cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel"
                                    destructiveButtonTitle:nil
                                         otherButtonTitles:nil];

    // Add the picker
    UIDatePicker *pickerView = [[UIDatePicker alloc] init];
    pickerView.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;
    [menu addSubview:pickerView];
    [menu showInView:self.view];    
    [menu setBounds:CGRectMake(0,0,320, 500)];

    CGRect pickerRect = pickerView.bounds;
    pickerRect.origin.y = -100;
    pickerView.bounds = pickerRect;

    [pickerView release];
    [menu release];

But you better create a fullscreen view with a UIDatePicker and a navigation bar. For an example see UICatalog -> Pickers sample from the iPhone DevCenter.

Solution 2:

Try adding following line to resolve disabled buttons issue

[menu sendSubviewToBack:pickerView];

Dmitry's answer is almost correct. However, the frame of the actionsheet is too small, and therefore touches near the bottom of the picker are ignored. I have corrected these problems:

UIActionSheet *menu = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Date Picker" 
                                                  delegate:self
                                         cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel"
                                    destructiveButtonTitle:nil
                                         otherButtonTitles:@"OK",nil];    
// Add the picker
UIDatePicker *pickerView = [[UIDatePicker alloc] init];
pickerView.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeTime;
[menu addSubview:pickerView];
[menu showInView:_mainView];        

CGRect menuRect = menu.frame;
CGFloat orgHeight = menuRect.size.height;
menuRect.origin.y -= 214; //height of picker
menuRect.size.height = orgHeight+214;
menu.frame = menuRect;


CGRect pickerRect = pickerView.frame;
pickerRect.origin.y = orgHeight;
pickerView.frame = pickerRect;

[pickerView release];
[menu release];

This works for me

NSString *title = UIDeviceOrientationIsLandscape([UIDevice currentDevice].orientation) ? @"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" : @"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" ;
UIActionSheet *actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] 
                              initWithTitle:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@", title, NSLocalizedString(@"SelectADateKey", @"")]
                              delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:@"Ok", nil];
[actionSheet showInView:self.view];
UIDatePicker *datePicker = [[[UIDatePicker alloc] init] autorelease];
datePicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;
[actionSheet addSubview:datePicker];

a little tricky but it works!
