DatePickerDialog display year picker first

Question

I want my DatePickerDialog as soon as it opens to display the list of years.

For example, when I show the dialog I see the calendar view:

Answer 1

Same as Show year selection first in Android Calendar View

I will copy here my answer:

You can get a reference to year view and then just simulate user click to open it.

dataPicker.getTouchables().get( 0 ).performClick();

Answer 2

Using the Datepicker XML modifications you can elect to show spinners instead of the Calendar, which might be beneficial for you as you want to directly edit the years.

android:datePickerMode="spinner"
