I have a views data table with timestamp field defined inside hook_views_data.

  $data['ABC']['timestamp'] = array(
    'title' => t('Timestamp'),
    'help' => t('Date and time from unix timestamp.'),
    'field' => array(
      'handler' => 'views_handler_field_date',
      'click sortable' => TRUE,
    ),
    'sort' => array(
      'handler' => 'views_handler_sort_date',
    ),
    'filter' => array(
      'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_date',
    ),
  );

When adding exposed filter for that field from Views, date popup is not showing up. Instead a normal text field is appearing. I would like to know
if there is a way to achieve what i desire.


Answering my own question, I used hook_form_alter() against "views_exposed_form". Then added date popup type,

$form['FIELD_NAME']['min']['#type'] = 'date_popup'

It worked perfectly.
