Create a DatePicker
Description
You use the DatePicker
control to select a date.
Example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
//from w w w .j a v a2 s . c o m
<TextView
android:id="@+id/dateDefault"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<DatePicker
android:id="@+id/datePicker"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
The following code sets the DatePicker with Date.
/*from w w w . j a v a 2 s. c o m*/
package com.java2s.app;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.DatePicker;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TextView dateDefault = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.dateDefault);
DatePicker dp = (DatePicker) this.findViewById(R.id.datePicker);
// subtract 1 from December (12) to set it to December
dp.init(2008, 11, 10, null);
// The month, and just the month, is zero-based.
dateDefault.setText("Date defaulted to " + (dp.getMonth() + 1) + "/" +
dp.getDayOfMonth() + "/" + dp.getYear());
}
}
Note
For the month, the internal value is zero-based, which means that January is 0 and December is 11.
If you do not set values for these controls, the default values will be the current date and time as known to the device.
