What worked for me was extending the Maui DatePicker into my own date picker that has a single method Open()

Connect the tap gesture in the date picker to call Open()

void Open() {

      #if ANDROID
                  if (this.Handler is IDatePickerHandler handler) {
                      handler.PlatformView.PerformClick();
                  }
      #else
                  (this as IView).IsFocused = false;
                  this.Focus();
      #endif
}

Is there any update on this? It still isn't working in the latest version of Maui as of 13/08/24

Supposedly there's a fix but it's stuck in review. Maui team, can you please review/accept the pull? We're converting from Xamarin and this bug is preventing us from doing so.

This fix is needed... will it be fixed soon?

Also waiting for this fix...

[mknotzer]

after almost one year still not fixed!

my workaround:

private DatePickerDialog mDialog;

protected override DatePickerDialog CreateDatePickerDialog(int year, int month, int day)
{
    mDialog = base.CreateDatePickerDialog(year, month, day);

    return mDialog;
}

protected override void ConnectHandler(MauiDatePicker platformView)
{
    base.ConnectHandler(platformView);

    mDialog.ShowEvent += OnDialogShown;
    mDialog.DismissEvent += OnDialogDismissed;
}

private void OnDialogShown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    VirtualView.IsFocused = true;
}

private void OnDialogDismissed(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    VirtualView.IsFocused = false;
}
