Date and time picker dialog
I want to create a dialog which can select the time and the date at the same time.
I know that there is not a default widget that can do that on Android. I also know that there are open source projects on how do similar staff. The problem in this project is that in the dialog we have two buttons: datePicker and timePicker.
And that's not what I want to do - I want that the date and time picker appear at the same time.
So I think the two main problem will be:
- First make the time and date picker appear in the same dialog.
- And the second problem will be to change the appearance of time and date picker (the orange color).
The first problem was resolved by Bhavesh. Here is what I get:
The problem now is that I want to change all blue bar color to orange color.
I added android:calendarViewShown="false"
to remove the calendar in the right :) Thanks Bhavesh and I changed the theme to HOLO
Here is what I get:
You can download the code (that's the best I can do). You can download from here.
Solution 1:
First make the time and date picker appear in the same dialog
Here i can help you some what: you can create a layout consisting of a DatePicker
and a TimePicker
in a LinearLayout
with the orientation set to vertical.
custom_dialog.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<DatePicker
android:id="@+id/datePicker1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</DatePicker>
<TimePicker
android:id="@+id/timePicker1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</TimePicker>
</LinearLayout>
Then use this layout to create your dialog.
Dialog dialog = new Dialog(mContext);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_dialog);
dialog.setTitle("Custom Dialog");
To react to the user interacting with your TimePicker
, do something like this:
TimePicker tp = (TimePicker)dialog.findViewById(R.id.timepicker1);
tp.setOnTimeChangedListener(myOnTimechangedListener);
To get the values from the Date- and TimePicker when the user has finished setting them, add an OK button in your dialog, and then read the date and time values from the Date- and TimePicker when the user presses OK.
To make something that looks exactly as in your screen shots I recommend you to make all things custom with your own logic.
Solution 2:
To change Blue bar colors try the below.
Define your own theme as follows,which extends THEME_HOLO_DARK
Try as follows:-
<style name="testo" parent="@android:style/Widget.DeviceDefault.DatePicker">
<item name="android:divider">@drawable/MyDivider</item>
</style>
Check the following change-basic-theme-color-of-android-application
Solution 3:
Date Picker and Time Picker both in a single dialog. Check this simple and easy library. CustomDateTimePicker
Hope it helps. Happy coding!!!
