'iOS picker appears behind the sheet
O
n iOS devices and the simulator if a picker is selected from a sheet window the picker option appears behind the sheet.
Sheet sheet = new Sheet(null, "My Sheet");
sheet.setLayout(new BoxLayout(BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
Picker p_fromDate = new Picker();
p_fromDate.setType(PICKER_TYPE_DATE);
sheet.add(p_fromDate);
sheet.show();
I have also added this to github issues https://github.com/codenameone/CodenameOne/issues/3588
Is there a simple work around in the mean time? The virtual keyboard is not affected in this way by I'd prefer to keep the picker if possible.

TL;DR: I suggest reworking the UI to avoid prompting for input in a Sheet.
Unfortunately the Picker lightweight mode is a Dialog which is just displayed on top of the current Form. Sheet resides in a pane above the current Form and is a separate interaction altogether. They aren't compatible.
I don't think it's something we can change (at least not easily). Besides breaking compatibility (which is something we can workaround) the main problem is solving this.
A layered pane has order. So a Sheet is in one layer. That makes sense. In your case you want the Sheet below the Picker but if we create a Picker and then show a sheet on top of that this will be a problem. We have no flexible way we can use to manipulate that.
You only see this on iOS since Android native pickers are native widgets which are always on top of everything.
