Date / Time pickers

Date pickers and Time pickers provide a simple way to select a single value from a pre-determined set.

  • On mobile, pickers are best suited for display in confirmation dialog.
  • For inline display, such as on a form, consider using compact controls such as segmented dropdown buttons.
