UIPickerView with DONE button

I have a UIPickerView in my application, and I want to have a done button on it to hide the picker.

I don't want to use an action sheet because I want focus on the rest of the view.i mean all the view has to be active.

Here is how I create the picker:

UIPickerView *pickerViewCountry = [[UIPickerView alloc] init];
    pickerViewCountry.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;
    pickerViewCountry.dataSource = self;
    pickerViewCountry.delegate = self;
    pickerViewCountry.frame = CGRectMake(0,210 , 320, 15);
    [self.view addSubview:pickerViewCountry];
    [pickerViewCountry release];

You can add a toolbar to a UIPickerView like this:

// initiaize picker view
UIPickerView *pickerView=[[UIDatePicker alloc]init];//Date picker
pickerView.frame=CGRectMake(0,44,320, 216);
pickerView.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;
[pickerView setMinuteInterval:5];
[self.view addsubview:pickerView]

toolBar= [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,44)];
[toolBar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlackOpaque];
UIBarButtonItem *barButtonDone = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Done" 
    style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(changeDateFromLabel:)];
toolBar.items = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:barButtonDone,nil];
barButtonDone.tintColor=[UIColor blackColor];
[pickerView addSubview:toolBar];

I would even try using something like EAActionSheetPicker. It manages the display of a pickerView/datePicker inside of an actionSheet. It may just be what you're looking for.

try out the custom picker make with action sheet

UIActionSheet *actionSheet;
NSString *pickerType;
-(IBAction)BtnPressed:(id)sender
{
    [self createActionSheet];
    pickerType = @"picker";
    select = NO;
    UIPickerView *chPicker = [[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 44.0, 0.0, 0.0)];
    chPicker.dataSource = self;
    chPicker.delegate = self;
    chPicker.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;
    [actionSheet addSubview:chPicker];
    sessoTxt.text = [sessoArray objectAtIndex:0];
    [chPicker release];
}
- (void)createActionSheet {
    if (actionSheet == nil) {
        // setup actionsheet to contain the UIPicker
        actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Select"
                                                  delegate:self
                                         cancelButtonTitle:nil
                                    destructiveButtonTitle:nil
                                         otherButtonTitles:nil];

        UIToolbar *pickerToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
        pickerToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
        [pickerToolbar sizeToFit];

        NSMutableArray *barItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

        UIBarButtonItem *flexSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:self action:nil];
        [barItems addObject:flexSpace];
        [flexSpace release];

        UIBarButtonItem *doneBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:@selector(pickerDone:)];
        [barItems addObject:doneBtn];
        [doneBtn release];

        [pickerToolbar setItems:barItems animated:YES];
        [barItems release];

        [actionSheet addSubview:pickerToolbar];
        [pickerToolbar release];

        [actionSheet showInView:self.view];
        [actionSheet setBounds:CGRectMake(0,0,320, 464)];
    }
}

The picker view should be set as the inputView of the text field where you are entering the country. You should create a toolbar with a standard Done system item and set that as the inputAccessoryView of the same field.

You can do this by adding a UIToolBar with Done button with animation of UIPickerView.
