If I wanted to do something like this myself, not a date but some
other rotating list of items, I would probably use a
UIPickerViewDataSource to tell the UIPicker it has a vast number of
rows and I'd start the picker index 1/2 way through that range. Then
I'd return a title from pickerView:titleForRow:forComponent: modulus
the number of things I actually have in the list.
eg I'd tell the picker I have 20000 rows, start at row 10000, if I had
123 actual pieces of data I'd return value '0' for 9754, 9877, 10000,
10123, 10246 etc. You only need the 123 pieces of data, the rest is
just mapping it onto a huge range.
Were I concerned it was really possible to run off the end I'd attempt
to find a reasonable point (perhaps at selection) to reset the index
back to a central value again.
In this case however .. the built-in date or time pickers are what you
want.

Just use a UIDatePicker on mode UIDatePickerModeTime or
UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime and you should be all set.

I have a fairly noob question in regards to recreating an alarm
view using a
Picker control.
On the iPhone, the values for hours & minutes wrap around - and I was
wondering if this is accomplished by repeating values in an NSArray
(so many
that you're not likely to scroll to them), or are they using
another trick
to get the values to loop around in the control?
I am really just making my own alarm setting UI using the Picker.
Thanks,
Eric
