How to get the date from the DatePicker widget in Android?
I use a DatePicker
widget in Android for the user to set a date, and want to get the date value when a confirm button is clicked, how can I do that?
Solution 1:
Try this:
DatePicker datePicker = (DatePicker) findViewById(R.id.datePicker1);
int day = datePicker.getDayOfMonth();
int month = datePicker.getMonth() + 1;
int year = datePicker.getYear();
Solution 2:
I manged to set the MinDate & the MaxDate programmatically like this :
final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
int maxYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR) - 20; // this year ( 2011 ) - 20 = 1991
int maxMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int maxDay = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int minYear = 1960;
int minMonth = 0; // january
int minDay = 25;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.create_account);
BirthDateDP = (DatePicker) findViewById(R.id.create_account_BirthDate_DatePicker);
BirthDateDP.init(maxYear - 10, maxMonth, maxDay, new OnDateChangedListener()
{
@Override
public void onDateChanged(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth)
{
if (year < minYear)
view.updateDate(minYear, minMonth, minDay);
if (monthOfYear < minMonth && year == minYear)
view.updateDate(minYear, minMonth, minDay);
if (dayOfMonth < minDay && year == minYear && monthOfYear == minMonth)
view.updateDate(minYear, minMonth, minDay);
if (year > maxYear)
view.updateDate(maxYear, maxMonth, maxDay);
if (monthOfYear > maxMonth && year == maxYear)
view.updateDate(maxYear, maxMonth, maxDay);
if (dayOfMonth > maxDay && year == maxYear && monthOfYear == maxMonth)
view.updateDate(maxYear, maxMonth, maxDay);
}}); // BirthDateDP.init()
} // activity
it works fine for me, enjoy :)
Solution 3:
If you are using Kotlin, you can define an extension function for DatePicker
:
fun DatePicker.getDate(): Date {
val calendar = Calendar.getInstance()
calendar.set(year, month, dayOfMonth)
return calendar.time
}
Then, it's just: datePicker.getDate()
. As if it had always existed.
