Showing a text field on screen doesn't mean that only a text field is there. You could have a text field as a sub view, with user interaction disabled. Then, add a transparent button as a sibling view with the same frame (ensuring it's in front). When the button is tapped, which from a user point of view is tapping the text field, you can show your picker.

The text field also offers direct support for displaying a picker view by allowing you to set its inputView.

Make sure to set the text field delegate and return false in this UITextFieldDelegate method:

func textFieldShouldBeginEditing(textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
    return false
}

This will prevent the keyboard from showing. You can also place the code to open the picker in that method.
