Question

I have looked everywhere and I could not find a ‘good’ solution to display a uidatepicker when a tableviewcell is tapped. In the following screenshot, the datepicker slides up from the bottom and the background of the view is dimmed. There are done and cancel buttons on the toolbar within the view that holds the datepicker.
appreciate your help

If you’re targeting 3.2 or higher, just assign a view containing the picker and whatever buttons you need as the cell’s inputView, override the cell’s canBecomeFirstResponder method (if necessary) so it can become the first responder, and call becomeFirstResponder on it when tapped.

If you’re still targeting earlier versions, you’ll have to add that view with the picker and buttons to the hierarchy, animate the sliding, and so on all manually.
