DateTimePicker

A date and time picker compatible with @react-native-community/datetimepicker.

Android

iOS

Included in Expo Go

Recommended version:

~56.0.26

A DateTimePicker component with an API compatible with @react-native-community/datetimepicker. It uses Jetpack Compose on Android and SwiftUI on iOS, providing a modern Material 3 and SwiftUI appearance by default (the community module defaults to the older look on Android).

DateTimePicker component is fully declarative. Use the presentation prop to render the picker 'inline' directly in the view hierarchy or as a 'dialog' on Android. There is no Android imperative API (DateTimePickerAndroid.open()).

Under the hood this component wraps the platform-specific @expo/ui primitives:

Android: Jetpack Compose DateTimePicker (inline), DatePickerDialog/TimePickerDialog (dialog)
iOS: SwiftUI DatePicker

If you need lower-level control (custom modifiers, styles, or layouts), use those primitives directly.

Installation

Terminal

- npx expo install @expo/ui

- yarn expo install @expo/ui

- pnpm expo install @expo/ui

- bun expo install @expo/ui

If you are installing this in an existing React Native app, make sure to install expo in your project.

Migrating from `@react-native-community/datetimepicker`

Update the import from import DateTimePicker from '@react-native-community/datetimepicker' to import DateTimePicker from '@expo/ui/community/datetime-picker'.
There is no imperative DateTimePickerAndroid.open() API. Render the component and use presentation="dialog" instead.
minuteInterval, textColor, firstDayOfWeek, neutralButton, onNeutralButtonPress, fullscreen, title and startOnYearSelection props are not supported.
Use timeZoneName (IANA name) instead of timeZoneOffsetInMinutes.
The countdown mode is not supported.
onError prop is not needed.

Basic usage

DateTimePickerExample.tsx

import { useState } from 'react';
import DateTimePicker from '@expo/ui/community/datetime-picker';

export default function DateTimePickerExample() {
  const [date, setDate] = useState(new Date());

  return (
    <DateTimePicker
      value={date}
      onValueChange={(event, selectedDate) => {
        setDate(selectedDate);
      }}
      mode="date"
    />
  );
}

Time picker

TimePickerExample.tsx

import { useState } from 'react';
import DateTimePicker from '@expo/ui/community/datetime-picker';

export default function TimePickerExample() {
  const [date, setDate] = useState(new Date());

  return (
    <DateTimePicker
      value={date}
      onValueChange={(event, selectedDate) => {
        setDate(selectedDate);
      }}
      mode="time"
    />
  );
}

With date constraints

ConstrainedDatePickerExample.tsx

import { useState } from 'react';
import DateTimePicker from '@expo/ui/community/datetime-picker';

const today = new Date();
const thirtyDaysFromNow = new Date(today.getTime() + 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);

export default function ConstrainedDatePickerExample() {
  const [date, setDate] = useState(new Date());

  return (
    <DateTimePicker
      value={date}
      onValueChange={(event, selectedDate) => {
        setDate(selectedDate);
      }}
      mode="date"
      minimumDate={today}
      maximumDate={thirtyDaysFromNow}
    />
  );
}

Dialog presentation

On Android, you can use presentation="dialog" to show the picker as a modal dialog. The dialog opens when the component mounts. Unmount it in response to onValueChange or onDismiss. On iOS, this prop is ignored and the picker always renders inline.

AndroidDialogExample.tsx

import { useState } from 'react';
import { Button, View } from 'react-native';
import DateTimePicker from '@expo/ui/community/datetime-picker';

export default function AndroidDialogExample() {
  const [date, setDate] = useState(new Date());
  const [show, setShow] = useState(false);

  return (
    <View>
      <Button title="Pick a date" onPress={() => setShow(true)} />
      {show && (
        <DateTimePicker
          value={date}
          onValueChange={(event, selectedDate) => {
            setShow(false);
            setDate(selectedDate);
          }}
          onDismiss={() => {
            setShow(false);
          }}
          mode="date"
          presentation="dialog"
        />
      )}
    </View>
  );
}
