set locale and calendar to UIDatePicker

[iOS.Lover]

Hi , I need to set my UIDatePicker to a specific locale area , but in iOS it seems deprecated ! Is there any new way to change UIDatePicker locale by code ? ? and when I set specific calendar for example PersianCalndar to the picker , does not change anything !!!

NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSPersianCalendar];
    datePicker.calendar = calendar;

Thank you ..

That's weird that the locale property was deprecated.

I would suggest filing a radar bug on the documentation. The docs should tell us what the alternative is. By filing a bug, you'll accomplish 2 things:

1. Bring the missing info to Apple's attention

2. Likely find out the answer to your question

In the meantime, I would use the deprecated property. Apple doesn't remove deprecated method/properties for at least 1 major release, and usually longer.

Please post back here with an update once you find out anything.

Apple's docs have gotten sloppy of late. It's pretty poor to just mark a method as deprecated without giving us info on an alternative.
