- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
   [[self navigationController] setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:YES];
    //[self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.customView setHidden:NO];


    dateformater = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
    datepictxt.delegate = self;
        UITextField *textField = (UITextField*)[self.view viewWithTag:1];
    datepicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc]init];

    if (textField.tag)
    {
        datepicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;
        [self.datepictxt setInputView:datepicker];


        UIToolbar * toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 44)];
        [toolbar setTintColor:[UIColor grayColor]];
        UIBarButtonItem *donebtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Done" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:@selector(showselectiondate:)];
        UIBarButtonItem *space = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
        [toolbar setItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:space,donebtn, nil]];
        [self.datepictxt setInputAccessoryView:toolbar];

    }
    else
    {

        datepicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeTime;
        [self.Timepicker setInputView:datepicker];


        UIToolbar * toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 44)];
        [toolbar setTintColor:[UIColor grayColor]];
        UIBarButtonItem *donebtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Done" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:@selector(showselectiontime:)];
        UIBarButtonItem *space = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
        [toolbar setItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:space,donebtn, nil]];
        [self.Timepicker setInputAccessoryView:toolbar];



    }

}

-(void)showselectiontime:(id)response
{

    [dateformater setDateFormat:@"hh:mm a"];
    self.Timepicker.text= [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[dateformater stringFromDate:datepicker.date]];

    [self.Timepicker resignFirstResponder];

}

-(void)showselectiondate:(id)response
{

    [dateformater setDateFormat:@"dd/MM/yyyy"];
    self.datepictxt.text= [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[dateformater stringFromDate:datepicker.date]];

    [self.datepictxt resignFirstResponder];

}

Answer 1

You should use the textField Delegate

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField;

for selecting pickers to open for textfields

 - (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField;{
    if(textField==self.datepictxt){

// show date picker

            }
    }

Currently i think your if statement:

 if (textField.tag)

is always gonna be true so it shows date, or you need to allocate a new datePicker, instead of using same one for both time and date modes.
