Date, DateTime

Date and Time on iOS

Date control on Android Chrome

Description

The Date and DateTime controls allow the input of a date. The result is returned as a string in value.

When the control is selected at runtime, a special date picker is displayed.

It is supported starting with iOS 5 and Android 4.

To add a control to your app, choose the control’s icon in the Toolbar, then position it on the Design Screen. Use the Property Editor to set the properties you need, then add functions to your code to respond to the events that come from the control: usually, just onclick.

The date value of the control. For the Date control, use the format 2012-01-06. For DateTime, use 2012-01-06T09:13:58

Events
