How to limit the timing that can be picked from Cupertino date picker in Flutter?

Question

Currently, this is how my Cupertino date picker look like

My code is as shown:

CupertinoDatePicker(
                      initialDateTime: DateTime.now(),
                      onDateTimeChanged: (val) {
                        setState(() {
                          dateSelected = val;
                        });
                      })

How can I make it such that I only allow the user to pick timing after 6 pm and before 3 am, every day?

I don't think it's possible with the built in widget, you could use this one https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_cupertino_date_picker — Er1, Mar 04 '22 at 13:33
I'd prefer to use the original cupertino package as it looks nicer. Thanks for the suggestion though — scott lee, Mar 05 '22 at 05:01

We cannot limit the timer. We can instead check if the current picked time is equal to our expectations. If not so show the user a dialog or a message to re enter the data and the current data entered is not available. Maybe this works for you.

Yup, that's a workaround I thought about as well. It ain't optimal but I shall stick to it for now. Thanks. – scott lee Mar 05 '22 at 05:04
