Question

I’m working in iPad Application and I have a Picker in One XIB, I wanna use the same UIDataPicker to get by separate the date in one UITextField and The Time in a different UITextField.

Example:

UItextField_1 > Here I wanna get only the date
UItextField_2 > Here I wanna get only the time

UIDatePicker > I wanna this picker (only ONE) to get both values.

Some ideas to achieve it?

Any idea is welcome, Thank you very much!

You could set up an event listener using UIControlEventValueChanged in your viewDidLoad method.

[datePicker addTarget:self action:@selector(action:forEvent:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];

Then in that handler you could do something like this:

- (void)action:(id)sender forEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    // Date
    dateTextField1.text = [NSDateFormatter localizedStringFromDate:[datePicker date] dateStyle:kCFDateFormatterShortStyle timeStyle:kCFDateFormatterNoStyle];

    // Time    
    dateTextField2.text = [NSDateFormatter localizedStringFromDate:[datePicker date] dateStyle:kCFDateFormatterNoStyle timeStyle:kCFDateFormatterShortStyle];
}

[Note: this is untested code. It’s only meant to give you an idea of what to do]
