Description

When attempting to create a Date Picker Spinner on Android, I get the calendar view instead of the spinner view. The flags calendarViewShown set to false and nativeSpinner set to true do not resolve the issue. The calendar has a poor user experience for users who use screen readers. {noformat} Ti.UI.createPicker({ calendarViewShown : false, nativeSpinner : true, type : Ti.UI.PICKER_TYPE_DATE }).showDatePickerDialog({ value : new Date(), callback : function(e) { if (!e.cancel) { Ti.API.warn(String.formatDate(e.value, 'medium')); } } }); {noformat}

    [~jceaser], Titanium's nativeSpinner property is not supported by dialogs. It is only supported by picker "views" whose type property is set to Ti.UI.PICKER_TYPE_TIME. For example... 
       var window = Ti.UI.createWindow({ layout: "vertical" });
   var picker = Ti.UI.createPicker({
   	type: Ti.UI.PICKER_TYPE_TIME,
   	nativeSpinner: true,
   	top: "50dp",
   });
   window.add(picker);
   window.open();
    Probably not the answer you wanted. But that said, a picker "view" of type Ti.UI.PICKER_TYPE_DATE will be displayed as a spinner instead of a calendar. So, you may want to use a view instead. Especially since iOS does not support the showDatePickerDialog() method if you care about portability.

    @Joshua this is the whole issue, it is not being displayed as a spinner, but as a Calendar. We want to use the date spinner !GOOD.png|thumbnail! and we're getting the Calendar !BAD.jpg|thumbnail!

    My point is that we don't currently support this feature for "dialogs". We only support it for "views" that you add to windows. Note the window.add(picker) I've shown above.
