Answer 1

I had the same issue. The solution is very simple. The date picker updates the edited values only when it losts focus, so before getting the values you have to call:

datePicker.clearFocus();

After this call you can call:

selectedDay = datePicker.getDayOfMonth();
selectedMonth = datePicker.getMonth();

and have the values updated.
