Android - New calendar style DatePicker and TimePicker

Question

Is it possible to use the new DatePickerDialog and TimePickerDialog style used in the latest version of android? They can be seen here : New style Date and time pickers

I tried looking for the latest sources of the AOSP Project, but event with that code, I still get the old one (With spinners) - They use the same DatePickerDialog and TimePickerDialog classes, so I was not expecting anything else.

Thanks for your help.

Solution 1

For future reference, the BetterPickers library has added support for the Google Now and Google Calendar date and time pickers from AOSP.

https://github.com/derekbrameyer/android-betterpickers/

I have not been able to properly implement the library tyczj suggested, and the test APK for it even causes an ANR. Better Pickers seems more stable.

Might be worth checking out both if anyone else wants to implement this.

Solution 2

there is a DatePicker library that looks just like that

Is'nt there a way to use the one from Google ?

[tyczj]

what is the difference its the same thing

[Guillaume Jobin]

Yeah but TimePicker is not ready in this lib. (Currently working on the TimePicker)

[tyczj]

well if google has not submitted the code to AOSP (I personally have not checked myself) for you to pull it from, then you ont be able to use it so you have no choice right now

[Guillaume Jobin]

I tought that being used in the app made it AOSP.

[tyczj]

the calendar app is in the AOSP but if they did not commit the code then how can you get it?

[Guillaume Jobin]

At what frequency do they make commit ?

[Marc Plano-Lesay]

The AOSP calendar app is not updated anymore. That's why Calendar appeared in the Play Store.

This seems not to be maintained anymore.

Ya thats right. Also its no longer working with API 21

[Guillaume Jobin]

They seems to have fixed compatibility with API21.
