Open UIDatePicker programmatically in iOS 14
You can use a datePicker with .compact style and put a UILabel on top of it and give it a background color to hide the datePicker behind it, and make sure the label user interaction is disabled then you should be able to tap on the datePicker and it will show the modal and then the value changed of the datePicker you can use your own date formatter to set the text of the label accordingly, you might also both the datePicker and the label inside a UIView and make it clip to bounds
I have the same problem. Im using following hack:
let datePicker = UIDatePicker(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 50, height: 50))datePicker.preferredDatePickerStyle = .compact// Removes LabelsdatePicker.subviews.forEach({ $0.subviews.forEach({ $0.removeFromSuperview() }) })Then I simply add this date picker on top of a view, which should open this popup.
It's impossible to open a UIDatePicker with UIKit14 from within the code
UIDatePickerhas no API for doing thisUIKitdoesn't allow us to create aUIEventsorUITouchobject which has any impact onUIKit.
