My UIDatePicker is set to UIDatePickerModeTime but on the apple documentation it says The date picker displays hours, minutes, and (optionally) an AM/PM designation. The exact items shown and their order depend upon the locale set. An example of this mode is [ 6 | 53 | PM ].. How do i add AM/PM because on my device, those aren't options and it instead uses a 24 hour clock?
This will depend on the settings of the user. If you go to Settings -> General -> Date & Time. there is a "24-Hour" time switch, and based on that users will have the AM/PM indicator on your picker.
Unfortunately UIDatePicker doesn't have an option for that; it always respects the device option of 12-hour or 24-hour time.
If you must have an AM/PM component you may have to go with a custom UIPickerView instead, and build an NSDate out of its components manually.
This thread is somewhat old, but maybe this will be useful to someone else...
As written in the original question, the picker will respect the locale. So, if you what to overrule the system-settings you can set the desired locale on the picker like this:
picker.locale = Locale.init(identifier: "en")
Two things to check,
UIDatePicker has mode which needs to be either set to .time or .dateAndTime in order to support AM/PM format.
set locale to a locale that supports AM/PM, eg "en_US_POSIX", if your locale is set to current, it will read system locale.

Is there any way to change the date (value returned by getDate) pressing the change month arrows without using setDate?
It's not much clear your request..try to specify better; anyway see the documentation about datepicker https://jqueryui.com/datepicker/#dropdown-month-year
I am playing with a UIDatePicker in my project and I have decided to change the text color to white with
self.datePicker.setValue(UIColor.white, forKey: "textColor")
I also have a minimum date set to today's date. The issue I am having is that the date and time text outside of my minimum date is still grey making it hard to see on my screen. I have been browsing the documentation and am not able to find a list of what key value pairs are available to the class in order to fix this. Thanks.
I am showing the date field in the UILabel the problem is when i change the setting of ipad
using
settings->international->calender
and change it to Buddhist from gregorian the date format differs.
How do i fix this issue so that it show the date format in gregorian only even when calender is changed?
hi guys can any body help me to figure out that how i can restrict the minimum date in UIDatePickerView? i tried to set property minumumDate from xib file but it is not working, even i set the the mode like this
[datePicker setDatePickerMode:UIDatePickerModeCountDownTimer];
but still it is not working. what i want to do is that user cannot scroll down from a specific date. example: if restricted date is 21.11.2011 then user should not scroll it to less then this date so please help me to figure it out
Thanx in advance
I think you would want to set the mode to 'UIDatePickerDate', as 'UIDatePickerCountDownTimer' is meant to display a time. Have you tried:
[datePicker setDatePickerMode:UIDatePickerModeDate];
[datePicker setMinimumDate:minDate];
minDate would be an NSDate with the restricted date. For info on how to initialize this date, see here in the Apple documentation. Especially the part about date components.
Any idea on how to customize the UIDatePicker with single column with list of events in it,and user should be able to select one among it ? Let me know some details about it. or example related to it.
Thank You
In code:
UIDatePicker has the datePickerMode property exactly for this reason.
You can set it with UIDatePickerModeTime.
In Interface Builder:
The top property in Date Picker Attributes window is Mode - choose Time.
You can use any of these
UIDatePickerModeDate, // Displays month, day, and year depending on the locale setting (e.g. November | 15 | 2007)
UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime, // Displays date, hour, minute, and optionally AM/PM designation depending on the locale setting (e.g. Wed Nov 15 | 6 | 53 | PM)
Like this
datePicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime;
