Is there someone out there that has a good date picker for jQuery mobile?
I\'m going to let the user select a \"from\" date and a \"to\" date and I haven\'t found anythi
I worked on updating the jquery ui datepicker to latest versions of jquery , jqueryui and jquery mobile so for jq1.9.1 jqui 1.10.2 and jqm 1.3.0. I prefered to leave as is my previous answer so you can see how it evolved.
the changeMonth and changeYear dropdown needed special care to work (unstylying was frequent)
here it is how i updated the experimental jqueryui datepicker for jqmobile :
js bin code snippet
You can link to the datepicker script instead of the whole jqueryui package.
The readonly prop prevents the keyboard to appear on ios
It is just a tweak of the datepicker to make it work on jqm, the goal would be to be able to override the _generatehtml function of datepicker widget and being able to give as input te jquery mobile theme to use. So you'll not need that whole bunch of addClass and avoid unnecessary DOM manipulation
I only tested for ios 6 (iphone, ipad) and desktop (chrome, firefox, safari), let us know about other tests.
Hope it helps as mush as needed it :)

Here is the updated version to work with jqm 1.4 : jsbin jqm 1.4.0
It is taking account of changes of jquery mobile 1.4.0 and needs a little bit less of dom manipulation
Try Mobiscroll, a customizable datepicker optimized for touch devices
here is a copy of my answer to another post here, related to how integrate jqueryui datepicker in jquerymobile framwework..hope it helps, like it would have helped me if it was existing :)
after a lot of search on Internet, especially comparing datebox and jqueryui datepicker (mobiscroll and mobipick are no good to me as i'am looking for a calendar view, i got to the point where i decided to use ui datepicker for few reasons :
I used it with :
using datepicker with more recent versions breaks the layout on month/year change.
from here, i got the files i needed. I used several answers i found on different stackoverflow questions, to make the following changes :
jquery.ui.datepicker.mobile.js new code :
(function ($, undefined) {
//cache previous datepicker ui method
var prevDp = $.fn.datepicker;
//rewrite datepicker
$.fn.datepicker = function (options) {
var dp = this;
//call cached datepicker plugin
var retValue = prevDp.apply(this, arguments);
//extend with some dom manipulation to update the markup for jQM
//call immediately
function updateDatepicker() {
$(".ui-datepicker-header", dp).addClass("ui-body-c ui-corner-top").removeClass("ui-corner-all");
$(".ui-datepicker-prev, .ui-datepicker-next", dp).attr("href", "#");
$(".ui-datepicker-prev", dp).buttonMarkup({ iconpos: "notext", icon: "arrow-l", shadow: true, corners: true });
$(".ui-datepicker-next", dp).buttonMarkup({ iconpos: "notext", icon: "arrow-r", shadow: true, corners: true });
$(".ui-datepicker-calendar th", dp).addClass("ui-bar-c");
$(".ui-datepicker-calendar td", dp).addClass("ui-body-c");
$(".ui-datepicker-calendar a", dp).buttonMarkup({ corners: false, shadow: false });
$(".ui-datepicker-calendar a.ui-state-active", dp).addClass("ui-btn-active"); // selected date
$(".ui-datepicker-calendar a.ui-state-highlight", dp).addClass("ui-btn-up-e"); // today"s date
$(".ui-datepicker-calendar .ui-btn", dp).each(function () {
var el = $(this);
// remove extra button markup - necessary for date value to be interpreted correctly
// only do this if needed, sometimes clicks are received that don't require update
// e.g. clicking in the datepicker region but not on a button.
// e.g. clicking on a disabled date (from next month)
var uiBtnText = el.find(".ui-btn-text");
if (uiBtnText.length)
el.html(uiBtnText.text());
});
};
//update after each operation
updateDatepicker();
$( dp ).on( "click change", function( event, ui)
{
$target=$(event.target);
if(event.type=="click" && ($target.hasClass("ui-datepicker-month") || $target.hasClass("ui-datepicker-year")))
event.preventDefault();
else
updateDatepicker( event);
});
//return jqm obj
if (retValue) {
if (!retValue.jquery) return retValue;
}
return this;
};
})(jQuery);
i use on() instead of click event and i preventDefault on click on month/year select menu.
And i use it this way :
$form
.trigger( "create" )
.find( "input[type='date'], input:jqmData(type='date')")
.each(function()
{
$(this)
.after( $( "<div />" ).datepicker(
{
altField : "#" + $(this).attr( "id" ),
altFormat : "dd/mm/yy",
showOtherMonths : true,
selectOtherMonths : true,
showWeek : true,
changeYear : true,
changeMonth : true,
beforeShowDay : beforeShowDay
}));
});
with beforeShowDay being a function returning an array (see jqueryui datepicker manual).
It works for me this way and i now i just need to add events to only show calendar when date input got focus.
A link to jsbin example
I suggest Datebox
https://github.com/jtsage/jquery-mobile-datebox
or Mobiscroll

If you want something in an Android flavour, try my very own Mobi Pick

By this time you may know, jquery mobile 1.4.5 has one (with a plugin): http://demos.jquerymobile.com/1.4.5/datepicker/
