DatePicker not selecting the correct date - objective-c

Question

I have a Button in my view.On tapping the Button you get a datepicker which defaults to today's date, the user can then select the date they want to search for events.
The problem is, no matter what date I select, it always returns the current day and adds this to my TextField which i have placed inside mu Button.Can any one tell me where I am wrong.am setting the date picker programatically.
Below is my code hopefully someone can help me out!
//displaying date picker while clicking on button
- (IBAction)startDateButtonAction:(id)sender
{
if ([popOverController isPopoverVisible]) {
[popOverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
}
UIViewController* popoverContent = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; //ViewController
UIView *popoverView1 = [[UIView alloc] init]; //view
datePicker =[[UIDatePicker alloc]init];//Date picker
datePicker.frame =CGRectMake(0,0,240, 150);
datePicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;
[datePicker setMaximumDate:[[NSDate date] dateByAddingTimeInterval:24*60*60*-6]];
[datePicker setMinimumDate:[DateFormatter getSubtractedDateForomCurrentDateWith:35]];
datePicker.date = [DateFormatter getDateFromString:startDateLabel.text];
datePicker.selected = YES;
[datePicker addTarget:self action:#selector(datePickerValue) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[popoverView1 addSubview:datePicker];
popoverContent.view = popoverView1;
popOverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:popoverContent];
[popOverController setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(240, 150) animated:NO];
[popOverController presentPopoverFromRect:startDateButton.frame inView:headerView permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
}
//action function while selecting any of the date from date picker
- (void) datePickerValue
{
NSDateComponents *offsetComponents = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
[offsetComponents setDay:-6];
NSDate *labelStartDate = datePicker.date;
startDate = [DateFormatter getOnlyDateComponentsFromDate:labelStartDate];
NSDate *labelEndDate = [self addDayToDate:startDate Number:6];
startDateLabel.text = [DateFormatter getDateStringddmmyyy:labelStartDate];
endDateLabel.text = [DateFormatter getDateStringddmmyyy:labelEndDate];
}
[including the functions that am used here]
//used for getting date components
+(NSDate *) getOnlyDateComponentsFromDate:(NSDate *)date
{
unsigned int flags = NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit;
NSCalendar* calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSDateComponents* components = [calendar components:flags fromDate:date];
NSDate* dateOnly = [calendar dateFromComponents:components];
return dateOnly;
}
- (NSDate *) addDayToDate:(NSDate *)date Number:(int) number
{
NSDate *newDate = [date dateByAddingTimeInterval:60*60*24*number];
return newDate;
}
Iam using ARC.
here datePicker.date gives me only the current date even though I select any other dates

Answer 1

I found out my mistake at last..The problem was with my code where i set the maximum and minimum value for the datePicker.removing the code for setting maximum and minimum value the code works fine..

Answer 2

You need to initialise your datepicker like this.
_datePicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:pickerFrame];
_datePicker.tag=1951;
_datePicker.datePickerMode=UIDatePickerModeDate;
[_datePicker addTarget:self action:#selector(ageChanged:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[_actionSheet addSubview:_datePicker];
And for your this method: ageChanged:
-(void)ageChanged:(id)sender {
NSDate *datePicked = [_datePicker date];
NSLog(#"%#", datePicked);
formattedDate = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:datePicked];
}
and set dateFormatter as per your requirement.
while changing your date it will give you the date you have selected in date Picker.
I hope this will help you for date picker.
