UIPickerView with DONE button - iphone

Question

I have a UIPickerView in my application, and I want to have a done button on it to hide the picker.
I don't want to use an action sheet because I want focus on the rest of the view.i mean all the view has to be active.
Here is how I create the picker:
UIPickerView *pickerViewCountry = [[UIPickerView alloc] init];
pickerViewCountry.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;
pickerViewCountry.dataSource = self;
pickerViewCountry.delegate = self;
pickerViewCountry.frame = CGRectMake(0,210 , 320, 15);
[self.view addSubview:pickerViewCountry];
[pickerViewCountry release];

Answer 1

try out the custom picker make with action sheet
UIActionSheet *actionSheet;
NSString *pickerType;
-(IBAction)BtnPressed:(id)sender
{
[self createActionSheet];
pickerType = #"picker";
select = NO;
UIPickerView *chPicker = [[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 44.0, 0.0, 0.0)];
chPicker.dataSource = self;
chPicker.delegate = self;
chPicker.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;
[actionSheet addSubview:chPicker];
sessoTxt.text = [sessoArray objectAtIndex:0];
[chPicker release];
}
- (void)createActionSheet {
if (actionSheet == nil) {
// setup actionsheet to contain the UIPicker
actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:#"Select"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:nil
destructiveButtonTitle:nil
otherButtonTitles:nil];
UIToolbar *pickerToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
pickerToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
[pickerToolbar sizeToFit];
NSMutableArray *barItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
UIBarButtonItem *flexSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:self action:nil];
[barItems addObject:flexSpace];
[flexSpace release];
UIBarButtonItem *doneBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:#selector(pickerDone:)];
[barItems addObject:doneBtn];
[doneBtn release];
[pickerToolbar setItems:barItems animated:YES];
[barItems release];
[actionSheet addSubview:pickerToolbar];
[pickerToolbar release];
[actionSheet showInView:self.view];
[actionSheet setBounds:CGRectMake(0,0,320, 464)];
}
}

Answer 2

You can add a toolbar to a UIPickerView like this:
// initiaize picker view
UIPickerView *pickerView=[[UIDatePicker alloc]init];//Date picker
pickerView.frame=CGRectMake(0,44,320, 216);
pickerView.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;
[pickerView setMinuteInterval:5];
[self.view addsubview:pickerView]
toolBar= [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,44)];
[toolBar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlackOpaque];
UIBarButtonItem *barButtonDone = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Done"
style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(changeDateFromLabel:)];
toolBar.items = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:barButtonDone,nil];
barButtonDone.tintColor=[UIColor blackColor];
[pickerView addSubview:toolBar];

Answer 3

The picker view should be set as the inputView of the text field where you are entering the country. You should create a toolbar with a standard Done system item and set that as the inputAccessoryView of the same field.

Answer 4

You can do this by adding a UIToolBar with Done button with animation of UIPickerView.

Answer 5

I would even try using something like EAActionSheetPicker. It manages the display of a pickerView/datePicker inside of an actionSheet. It may just be what you're looking for.
