Android - TimePicker minutes to 15
Can I control the Android TimePicker view to just show the minutes to 15 minutes interval?
Meaning if it's 12:28 now, show 12:30 and clicking the + and - button will increment and decrement by 15?
Create a xml file and name it activity_time_picker.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TimePicker
android:id="@+id/timePicker1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/layoutHourMinute"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
now create activity class like this
import java.lang.reflect.Field;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.content.pm.ActivityInfo;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Window;
import android.widget.NumberPicker;
import android.widget.TimePicker;
public class TimePickerActivity extends Activity {
TimePicker timePicker;
private int TIME_PICKER_INTERVAL = 15;
NumberPicker minutePicker;
List<String> displayedValues;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_time_picker);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
timePicker = (TimePicker)findViewById(R.id.timePicker1);
timePicker.setIs24HourView(true);
timePicker.setCurrentHour(0);
timePicker.setCurrentMinute(0);
setTimePickerInterval(timePicker);
}
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
private void setTimePickerInterval(TimePicker timePicker) {
try {
Class<?> classForid = Class.forName("com.android.internal.R$id");
// Field timePickerField = classForid.getField("timePicker");
Field field = classForid.getField("minute");
minutePicker = (NumberPicker) timePicker
.findViewById(field.getInt(null));
minutePicker.setMinValue(0);
minutePicker.setMaxValue(3);
displayedValues = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i = 0; i < 60; i += TIME_PICKER_INTERVAL) {
displayedValues.add(String.format("%02d", i));
}
// for (int i = 0; i < 60; i += TIME_PICKER_INTERVAL) {
// displayedValues.add(String.format("%02d", i));
// }
minutePicker.setDisplayedValues(displayedValues
.toArray(new String[0]));
minutePicker.setWrapSelectorWheel(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Here's my version where you can set the interval:
private static final int TIME_PICKER_INTERVAL=15;
private boolean mIgnoreEvent=false;
private TimePicker.OnTimeChangedListener mTimePickerListener=new TimePicker.OnTimeChangedListener(){
public void onTimeChanged(TimePicker timePicker, int hourOfDay, int minute){
if (mIgnoreEvent)
return;
if (minute%TIME_PICKER_INTERVAL!=0){
int minuteFloor=minute-(minute%TIME_PICKER_INTERVAL);
minute=minuteFloor + (minute==minuteFloor+1 ? TIME_PICKER_INTERVAL : 0);
if (minute==60)
minute=0;
mIgnoreEvent=true;
timePicker.setCurrentMinute(minute);
mIgnoreEvent=false;
}
}
};
The following worked for me.
First, in onCreate:
pickStartTime = (TimePicker)findViewById(R.id.StartTime);
pickStartTime.setOnTimeChangedListener(mStartTimeChangedListener);
Set the OnTimeChangedListener:
private TimePicker.OnTimeChangedListener mStartTimeChangedListener =
new TimePicker.OnTimeChangedListener() {
public void onTimeChanged(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int minute) {
updateDisplay(view, startDate, hourOfDay, minute);
}
};
Null OnTimeChangedListener (explained in comments in updateDisplay below):
private TimePicker.OnTimeChangedListener mNullTimeChangedListener =
new TimePicker.OnTimeChangedListener() {
public void onTimeChanged(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int minute) {
}
};
private void updateDisplay(TimePicker timePicker, Date date, int hourOfDay, int minute) {
// do calculation of next time
int nextMinute = 0;
if (minute >= 45 && minute <= 59)
nextMinute = 45;
else if(minute >= 30)
nextMinute = 30;
else if(minute >= 15)
nextMinute = 15;
else if(minute > 0)
nextMinute = 0;
else {
nextMinute = 45;
}
// remove ontimechangedlistener to prevent stackoverflow/infinite loop
timePicker.setOnTimeChangedListener(mNullTimeChangedListener);
// set minute
timePicker.setCurrentMinute(nextMinute);
// hook up ontimechangedlistener again
timePicker.setOnTimeChangedListener(mStartTimeChangedListener);
// update the date variable for use elsewhere in code
date.setMinutes(nextMinute);
}
You have to write your own TimePicker. Not sure if you can extend the existing TimePicker and handle the button events on your own.
I think I figured it out. Might be ghetto way but...
Here is what I did.
start_time.setOnTimeChangedListener(new TimePicker.OnTimeChangedListener() {
public void onTimeChanged(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int minute) {
updateDisplay(hourOfDay, minute);
}
});
private void updateDisplay(int hourOfDay, int minute) {
// do calculation of next time
// nextTime = calculation of next time;
// the processed boolean is to prevent infinite loop
if (!processed) {
start_time.setCurrentMinute(nextTime);
processed = true;
} else {
processed = false;
}
}
