Below is the function I am using to diplay date picker dialog in android.
private fun openPurchaseDatePickerDialog(
yearToDisplay: Int,
monthToDisplay: Int,
dayToDisplay: Int
) {
try {
activity?.let { KeyboardUtils.hideKeyboard(it) }
val calendar = Calendar.getInstance()
val dialog = DatePickerDialog(activity, { _, year, month, day_of_month ->
calendar[Calendar.YEAR] = year
calendar[Calendar.MONTH] = month
calendar[Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH] = day_of_month
val myFormat = "" + DateUtils.OverAllAppDateDisplayFormat
val sdf = SimpleDateFormat(myFormat, Locale.getDefault())
edtPurchaseDate.setText(sdf.format(calendar.time).toString())
spIntendedUse.isFocusable = true
}, yearToDisplay, monthToDisplay, dayToDisplay)
dialog.updateDate(yearToDisplay,monthToDisplay,dayToDisplay)
dialog.datePicker.maxDate = calendar.timeInMillis
dialog.show()
} catch (e: Exception) {
e.printStackTrace()
}
As above you can check that there are three arguments passed in this function.
I have to show the specific date in DatePicker dialog show I have passed this three parameters.
Means If User selected the date first time the default values will be set or the current date will be set.
If edittext has already a text selected and not empty am doing as below :
if (edtPurchaseDate.text.toString().isNullOrEmpty()) {
val calendar = Calendar.getInstance()
openPurchaseDatePickerDialog(
calendar[Calendar.YEAR],
calendar[Calendar.MONTH],
calendar[Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH]
)
} else {
var dateArr = edtPurchaseDate.text.toString().split("-")
openPurchaseDatePickerDialog(
dateArr[2].toInt(),
dateArr[1].toInt(),
dateArr[0].toInt()
)
}
But Still when the date picker dialogs opens its displaying the selected as as today instead of custom.
What might be the issue?
You can see I have also tried with updateDate()
function as below :
dialog.updateDate(yearToDisplay,monthToDisplay,dayToDisplay)
Thanks.
Not completely sure about the updateDate
method issue here . But to fix this you can use same Calendar
object during initialization it should work fine .
i have modified your method a bit .
private fun openPurchaseDatePickerDialog(date: String) {
try {
val calendar = Calendar.getInstance()
if (date.isNotBlank()) {
try {
calendar.time = SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy", Locale.getDefault()).parse(date)!!
}catch (e:ParseException){
}
}
val dialog = DatePickerDialog(this, { _, year, month, day_of_month ->
calendar[Calendar.YEAR] = year
calendar[Calendar.MONTH] = month
calendar[Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH] = day_of_month
val myFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy"
val sdf = SimpleDateFormat(myFormat, Locale.getDefault())
edtPurchaseDate.setText(sdf.format(calendar.time).toString())
}, calendar[Calendar.YEAR], calendar[Calendar.MONTH], calendar[Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH])
dialog.datePicker.maxDate = System.currentTimeMillis()
dialog.show()
} catch (e: Exception) {
e.printStackTrace()
}
}
Now when you call it you just call it with a value you do mnot have to split String.
openPurchaseDatePickerDialog(edtPurchaseDate.text.toString())
