Step 3: Register Syncfusion handler

Make sure to add the namespace.

using Syncfusion.Maui.Core.Hosting;

Register the Syncfusion core handler in your CreateMauiApp method of MauiProgram.cs file to use Syncfusion controls.

builder.ConfigureSyncfusionCore();

Step 4: Import the TimePicker namespace

Add the following namespace in your XAML or C#.

xmlns:picker="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Picker;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Picker"
using Syncfusion.Maui.TimePicker;

Step 5: Add the TimePicker Component

Initialize the TimePicker control and configure its properties to select time values in an intuitive and customizable interface. The SfTimePicker control allows you to add the header text by setting the Text property in the PickerHeaderView. Enable the header view by setting the Height property in the PickerHeaderView.

<picker:SfTimePicker x:Name="picker">
    <picker:SfTimePicker.HeaderView>
        <picker:PickerHeaderView Text="Time Picker" Height="40" />
    </picker:SfTimePicker.HeaderView>
</picker:SfTimePicker>
SfTimePicker picker = new SfTimePicker();
picker.HeaderView = new PickerHeaderView()
{
    Text = "Time Picker",
    Height = 40,
};

this.Content = picker;

Set header view in .NET MAUI Time picker.
