Minimum and maximum date in UIDatePicker

Question

I want to get the minimum and maximum date from a date picker, but minimum date should be \"- 18\" of the current date and the maximum date should be \"- 100\" of current da

Answer 1

This is how it would look like in 2017 (Swift 3)

    var components = DateComponents()
    components.year = -100
    let minDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: components, to: Date())

    components.year = -18
    let maxDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: components, to: Date())

    datePicker.minimumDate = minDate
    datePicker.maximumDate = maxDate

Answer 2

Try this:

NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDate *currentDate = [NSDate date];
NSDateComponents *comps = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
[comps setYear:-18];
NSDate *minDate = [gregorian dateByAddingComponents:comps toDate:currentDate  options:0];
[comps setYear:-150];
NSDate *maxDate = [gregorian dateByAddingComponents:comps toDate:currentDate  options:0];
[comps release];

self.datePicker.minimumDate = minDate;
self.datePicker.maximumDate = maxDate;

It may be easily translated to Swift 4.2:

    let calendar = Calendar(identifier: .gregorian)

    let currentDate = Date()
    var components = DateComponents()
    components.calendar = calendar

    components.year = -18
    components.month = 12
    let maxDate = calendar.date(byAdding: components, to: currentDate)!

    components.year = -150
    let minDate = calendar.date(byAdding: components, to: currentDate)!

    picker.minimumDate = minDate
    picker.maximumDate = maxDate

Answer 3

Look at this for Swift version. User negative value (-) to subtract and positive value to add date component.

1. Set minimum date

 yourDatePicker.minimumDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .year, value: -1, to: Date())

2. Set maximum date

 yourDatePicker.maximumDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .year, value: 1, to: Date())

Answer 4

In Swift 2.1:

    let currentDate: NSDate = NSDate()

    let calendar: NSCalendar = NSCalendar(calendarIdentifier: NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian)!
    // let calendar: NSCalendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
    calendar.timeZone = NSTimeZone(name: "UTC")!

    let components: NSDateComponents = NSDateComponents()
    components.calendar = calendar

    components.year = -18
    let minDate: NSDate = calendar.dateByAddingComponents(components, toDate: currentDate, options: NSCalendarOptions(rawValue: 0))!

    components.year = -150
    let maxDate: NSDate = calendar.dateByAddingComponents(components, toDate: currentDate, options: NSCalendarOptions(rawValue: 0))!

    self.dateOfBirthUIDatePicker.minimumDate = minDate
    self.dateOfBirthUIDatePicker.maximumDate = maxDate

    print("minDate: \(minDate)")
    print("maxDate: \(maxDate)")

Answer 5

Swift 3.0

 let gregorian: NSCalendar = NSCalendar(calendarIdentifier: NSCalendar.Identifier.gregorian)!
    let currentDate: Date = Date()
    let components: NSDateComponents = NSDateComponents()

    components.year = -150
    let minDate: Date = gregorian.date(byAdding: components as DateComponents, to: currentDate, options: NSCalendar.Options(rawValue: 0))!

    components.year = -16
    let maxDate: Date = gregorian.date(byAdding: components as DateComponents, to: currentDate, options: NSCalendar.Options(rawValue: 0))!

    self.datepicker.minimumDate = minDate
    self.datepicker.maximumDate = maxDate

Answer 6

In Objective C, NSDateComponents *comps = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];

NSDateComponents *components = [calendar components:(NSCalendarUnitYear | NSCalendarUnitMonth | NSCalendarUnitDay) fromDate:[NSDate date]];

NSInteger year = components.year;
NSInteger month = components.month;
NSInteger day = components.day;
NSInteger minimumYear = year - 1900;//Given some year here for example
NSInteger minimumMonth = month - 1;
NSInteger minimumDay = day - 1;
[comps setYear:-minimumYear];
[comps setMonth:-minimumMonth];
[comps setDay:-minimumDay];
NSDate *minDate = [calendar dateByAddingComponents:comps toDate:currentDate options:0];

[datePicker setMinimumDate:minDate];
[datePicker setMaximumDate:[NSDate date]];

The minimum date would be January 01 1900. I hope it works for you all.. :)

In Swift 2.0 or later

    let calendar = NSCalendar(calendarIdentifier:NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian);

    let todayDate = NSDate()

    let components = calendar?.components([NSCalendarUnit.Year,NSCalendarUnit.Month,NSCalendarUnit.Day], fromDate: todayDate)
    let minimumYear = (components?.year)! - 1900
    let minimumMonth = (components?.month)! - 1
    let minimumDay = (components?.day)! - 1

    let comps = NSDateComponents();
    comps.year = -minimumYear
    comps.month = -minimumMonth
    comps.day = -minimumDay

    let minDate = calendar?.dateByAddingComponents(comps, toDate: todayDate, options: NSCalendarOptions.init(rawValue: 0))

    datePicker.minimumDate = minDate
    datePicker.maximumDate = datePicker.date
