when i set the focus on the textfirld, i can see the keypad, but behind it the datepicker is coming.
how am i remove the keypad and only show the datepicker

Answer 1

I struggled with that myself and found the solution. You can do it this way:

- (void)viewDidLoad 
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
// set delegate for date text field
    dateField.delegate = self;
}

// Display the picker instead of a keyboard
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
    [self showDatePicker];
    return NO;

}

This assumes, that you have declared a method called showDatePicker, which handles the UIPicker display.
