I\'m writing my first app, and I have a question about DatePicker
.
My app requires the user to input a date. The most user-friendly way would be to popu
Now, in 2014, even the native DatePicker (link) contains small Holo looking CalendarView (link) to pick a day in month.
You can choose, if both spinners and CalendarView
or just one of them is displayed by setting:
android:calendarViewShown
android:spinnersShown
I'm not sure if it's just API level 16+ or if it was even in Ice Cream Sandwich, but it's there. This is how it looks by default:
Moreover, on API level 21 and higher there is a new Material themed DatePicker
that looks like following:
This is default on API 21+ and there are no spinners anymore, but you can switch back to the Holo one by setting
android:datePickerMode="spinner"
in your XML.
