adding a toolbar to a pickerview

Question

Hi,

How I could able to add a toolbar to the picker? I want above the picker there is a toolbar with a "done" bar button item. clicking the "done" button will hide (animate) the picker offscreen (going to bottom like the keyboard)

I'm still looking for this how-to... Hope you could help me.

Thanks

Answer 1

The easiest way would be to make a new UIToolbar and position that directly above your picker view when you animate it in. Check out the DateCell example for animation code.

Answer 2

When I need to do this, I typically make a container view and place into it both the picker and the toolbar. This allows the grouping to be hidden, moved, sized, etc as a unit.

UIView *pickerGroupView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: frame] autorelease];
thePicker.frame = pickerGroupView.bounds;
[pickerGroupView addSubview: thePicker];

theToolbar.center = pickerGroupView.center;  // assuming that's where you want it
[pickerGroupView addSubView: theToolbar];
