Date picker does not open first click on textfield in swift 2.2

I have datePicker view that does not open at first time click on textField. If I click it second time then the date picker view is opened. I'm confused in this case. Why it did not open at first click? How to show date picker view in first click on UITextField?

Code I have try:

@IBAction func datePick(sender: UITextField)
{
    let datePickerView = UIDatePicker()
    datePickerView.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerMode.Date
    sender.inputView = datePickerView
    datePickerView.addTarget(self, action: #selector(SendSMS.showDatePicker), forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.ValueChanged)
}

func showDatePicker(sender: UIDatePicker) {
    let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"

    let timeFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
    timeFormatter.dateFormat = "HH:mm:SS"
    timeField.text = timeFormatter.stringFromDate(sender.date)
    dateField.text = dateFormatter.stringFromDate(sender.date)
}

Output:

It'll also work by setting TextField action event Editing Did Begin. It won't work first time if you set the action Editing Did End.

Instead of setting action with textField try to use delegate method of UITextFieldDelegate.

func textFieldDidBeginEditing(textField: UITextField!) {    //delegate method
    if textField == dateField {
        let datePickerView = UIDatePicker()
        datePickerView.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerMode.Date
        textField.inputView = datePickerView
        datePickerView.addTarget(self, action: #selector(SendSMS.showDatePicker), forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.ValueChanged)
    }
}
