Answer 1

Before going to this code, you need to just know about UIActionSheet and You need to implement UIActionShetDelegate and UITextFieldDelegate In the textFieldDidBeginEditing you need to show the action sheet as below:

-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)sender
{
   UIActionSheet *asheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Select Date" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:@"Select", nil];
  [asheet showInView:[self.view superview]];
  [asheet setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 117, 320, 383)];
}

- (void)willPresentActionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet
  {
    UIDatePicker *pickerView = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 40, 320, 240)];

   [pickerView setMinuteInterval:5];
   [pickerView setTag: DatePickerTag];

  [actionSheet addSubview:pickerView];
  NSArray *subviews = [actionSheet subviews];

  [[subviews objectAtIndex:SelectButtonIndex] setFrame:CGRectMake(20, 250, 280, 46)];
  [[subviews objectAtIndex:CancelButtonIndex] setFrame:CGRectMake(20, 300, 280, 46)];

}
