Description

Description

I'm using the Maui control TimePicker to let the user specify a time. I don't like the Clock display on Android, and would much prefer the spinner ui, which is similar to the iOS version.

Public API Changes

<TimePicker android:TimePicker.Mode="Spinner"

A new platform specific setting would be idea.

Intended Use-Case

This would be useful for everyone who uses the TimePicker on Android, but prefers the Spinner mode.

Research direction
Investigate existing platform specific implementations in the MAUI codebase, particularly for controls like DatePicker. Look at the TimePicker handler for Android in the source code (e.g., src/Core/src/Handlers/TimePicker/). Consider whether to add a new platform specific property or extend an existing one. Check if there are any linked PRs or comments from maintainers that provide guidance.
