You can use a simple JavaScript Date Object to set a default value:

import QtQuick 2.0

import Ubuntu.Components 0.1

import Ubuntu.Components.Pickers 0.1



DatePicker {

    id: timePicker

    mode: "Hours|Minutes"

    date: new Date(0,0,0,8,5)

}

The Date object is used to work with dates and times.

Date objects are created with new Date().

There are four ways of instantiating a date:

var d = new Date();

var d = new Date(milliseconds);

var d = new Date(dateString);

var d = new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);
