Question

I have a textField in my view and under it a picker.

I need when the user chooses a date from the datePicker the textField to show the exact value of the date.

How do i get the date from the dateField?

Answer 1

Set the value_changed event of your DatePicker to a IBAction :

example :

- (IBAction) dateChanged:(id)sender {
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];
    self.currentTextField.text = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[self.datePicker date]];
}
