I am looking to include a datepicker in my app that looks native to IOS and Android but I cannot find any documentation on how to accomplish that. Can you please point me to some sample code?
I see in the demos that there is a datepicker in Kendo UI Web. Can that be used in my mobile app? If so, what needs to be done to include that widget.
Thanks.

You can do that by, for example, starting a new project and select Kendo UI Mobile for your app.
Here is a nice tutorial for those that are new to KendoUI: http://docs.kendoui.com/tutorials/build-apps-with-kendo-ui-mobile#next%20steps

Jan-Dirk - I appreciate the attempt to help but I know how to get started with a Kendo Mobile app and have layouts, views, templates and data sources setup. The link you included makes no mention of the datepicker or any other widgets and honestly felt a bit condescending.
My question was how can I use the Kendo UI Datepicker widget in a mobile app. A search of the Icenium forums did not turn up any results.
Thanks.

Sorry Chris, but from your post I couldn't see that you are an experienced developer and unfortunately you can't mention your experience level in your profile.

Jan-Dirk: No problem and thanks.
Do you or anyone else have any links to instructions on using Kendo Widgets in Kendo Mobile?
Thank you for your time.

Hello Chris,
It may be possible to use Kendo UI date picker on mobile, but it may no be very touch optimized experience. Let me know if you want to go that way after checking this demo on your target devices?
The third option is to use this mobile optimized date-picker http://code.google.com/p/mobiscroll/ when on Android and < iOS 5.
Hope this helps, Jordan

the native date picker is supported only on iOS 5+ and is pretty simple to use:
<
input
type
=
"date"
name
=
"fromDate"
id
=
"fromDate" /
>

Hi Jordan,
Your first solution it's working on iOS platform but on Android side it's not working. The other solution like mobiscroll is working user can select date on screen but mobiscroll set and cancel click events not working i think it's about the css error or bug?
Do you have advice for android datepicker?
Kind Regards.

Hi Eren,
A quick search shows that there are several bug reports (e.g. this one), which describe similar behavior on Samsung OEM devices and that it works in Android AOSP.

Jordan,
How do you access the date value when using the native iOS datepicker after selecting a date. Where does this value get stored?
Thanks in advance!

Hello David,
If you are asking about the mobiscroll date-picker, you can find the getDate method within their online documentation.
If you want to access the value from the input tag, you can check this StackOverflow thread where a very good explanation is provided in details.
I hope this helps.
