How to show DatePickerDialog on Button click?

Question

I'm developing an app that requires user to select date(dd/mm/yyyy). I want to show a dialog box with DatePicker on button click. once date is selected it must show in EditText.

I'm using Android Studio 2.2, project with min sdk is 23.

Kindly help me to do required code.

Solution 1

Following code works..

datePickerButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            showDialog(0);
        }
    });

@Override
@Deprecated
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
    return new DatePickerDialog(this, datePickerListener, year, month, day);
}

private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener datePickerListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
    public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int selectedYear,
                          int selectedMonth, int selectedDay) {
        day = selectedDay;
        month = selectedMonth;
        year = selectedYear;
        datePickerButton.setText(selectedDay + " / " + (selectedMonth + 1) + " / "
                + selectedYear);
    }
};

I. In your build.gradle add latest appcompat library, at the time 24.2.1

dependencies {  
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:X.X.X' 
    // where X.X.X version
}

II. Make your activity extend android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity and implement the DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener interface.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity  
    implements DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener {

III. Create your DatePickerDialog setting a context, the implementation of the listener and the start year, month and day of the date picker.

DatePickerDialog datePickerDialog = new DatePickerDialog(  
    context, MainActivity.this, startYear, starthMonth, startDay);

IV. Show your dialog on the click event listener of your button

((Button) findViewById(R.id.myButton))
    .setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        datePickerDialog.show();
    }
});

    final Calendar newCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    final DatePickerDialog  StartTime = new DatePickerDialog(this, new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
                public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
                    Calendar newDate = Calendar.getInstance();
                    newDate.set(year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);
                    activitydate.setText(dateFormatter.format(newDate.getTime()));
                }
    
            }, newCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR), newCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH), newCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
    
      btn_checkin.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override   public void onClick(View v) {
         StartTime.show():    
     });

it works for me. if you want to enable future time for choose, you have to delete maximum date. You need to to do like followings.

 btnDate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                       @Override
                       public void onClick(View v) {
                              DialogFragment newFragment = new DatePickerFragment();
                                    newFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "datePicker");
                            }
                        });

            public static class DatePickerFragment extends DialogFragment
                        implements DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener {

                    @Override
                    public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                        final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
                        int year = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
                        int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
                        int day = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
                        DatePickerDialog dialog = new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, year, month, day);
                        dialog.getDatePicker().setMaxDate(c.getTimeInMillis());
                        return  dialog;
                    }

                    public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int day) {
                       btnDate.setText(ConverterDate.ConvertDate(year, month + 1, day));
                    }
                }

just get an instance of the date picker dialog as I put in the snippet filling the needed parameters, and fire it from your button's listener.
