How to display a Date using TextField with Swift

Displaying Date with TextField Click with Swift

First you must have a textfield connected to storyboard.

@IBOutlet weak var txtField_helloDatePicker: UITextField!

Next you should have a constant of UIDatePicker type.

let datePicker = UIDatePicker()

Then inside the viewDidLoad function, you should set the date picker mode to date

datePicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerMode.Date

Then to show the date picker on tapping the textfield, you should set the input view of that textfield to the date picker

        

txtField_helloDatePicker.inputView = datePicker

Then to manage the changes in the selection

        

datePicker.addTarget(self, action: Selector("datePickerChanged:"), forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.ValueChanged)

Then to handle the action  of the date picker, you should have 

func datePickerChanged(datePicker:UIDatePicker) {

        println("time picker changed for ceremony")

        

        var dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()

        

        dateFormatter.timeStyle = NSDateFormatterStyle.ShortStyle

        

        var strDate = dateFormatter.stringFromDate(datePicker.date)

        

        txtField_helloDatePicker.text = strDate

 }

Summary of Code:

datePicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerMode.Date

        

txtField_helloDatePicker.inputView = datePicker

        

datePicker.addTarget(self, action: Selector("datePickerChanged:"), forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.ValueChanged)

func datePickerChanged(datePicker:UIDatePicker) {

        println("time picker changed for ceremony")

        

        var dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()

        

        dateFormatter.timeStyle = NSDateFormatterStyle.ShortStyle

        

        var strDate = dateFormatter.stringFromDate(datePicker.date)

        

        txtField_helloDatePicker.text = strDate

 }
