I ve been stuck on a DatePicker problem for several and i can\'t seem to find any solution.

I currently have a DatePickerDialog which fits quite well to my needs YET I

Answer 1

Its kinda hacky, but if you look at the layout for the DatePicker you can see its a FrameLayout containing 3 sub-views. So I was wanting the hide the year and did this.

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    ViewGroup group = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.picker);
    group = (ViewGroup) group.getChildAt(0);
    Toast.makeText(this, String.format("%s children", group.getChildCount()), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    try{
        group.getChildAt(2).setVisibility(View.GONE);
            // 2 for year, 1 for day, 0 for month
    }catch(Exception e){
        Toast.makeText(this, e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

This gets the framelayout of the picker and then hides its 3rd child which is the year. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

My idea is using a custom Date Picker for android. In Google Code, I found an open source project called Android Wheel

After checkout source code from Google Code, you'll find several example so that you can easily customize a year-picker as you want.

There is some change in honeycomb.

ViewGroup group = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.picker);
group = (ViewGroup) group.getChildAt(0);
group = (ViewGroup) group.getChildAt(0);
// 0:datepicker , 1:calendar
Toast.makeText(this, String.format("%s children", group.getChildCount()), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
try{
    group.getChildAt(0).setVisibility(View.GONE);
    // 0 for year, 1 for month, 2 for day
}catch(Exception e){
Toast.makeText(this, e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
