Set DatePickerDialog title permanently

android, java

Solution

How about extending `DatePickerDialog` and adding a `setPermanentTitle` method to store a permanent title that will be forced when date gets changed ?

public class MyDatePickerDialog extends DatePickerDialog {

    private CharSequence title;

    public MyDatePickerDialog(Context context, OnDateSetListener callBack, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
        super(context, callBack, year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);
    }

    public void setPermanentTitle(CharSequence title) {
        this.title = title;
        setTitle(title);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDateChanged(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int day) {
        super.onDateChanged(view, year, month, day);
        setTitle(title);
    }
}

And then use the new `setPermanentTitle` method:

    MyDatePickerDialog dpd = new MyDatePickerDialog(this, null, 2012, 10, 10);
    dpd.setPermanentTitle("set date");

Problem

I have a problem when I'm trying to set DatePickerDialog title permanently. DatePickerFragment.java ``` public class DatePickerFragment extends DialogFragment implements DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener { @Override public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) { // Use the current date as the default date in the picker 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); // Create a new instance of DatePickerDialog and return it DatePickerDialog dpd = new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, year, month, day); dpd.setTitle("set date"); return dpd; } public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int day) { // Do something with the date chosen by the user } } ``` MainActivity.java ``` public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1); btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { DialogFragment newFragment = new DatePickerFragment(); newFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "datePicker"); } }); } } ``` When I click button DatePickerDialog shows and dialog title is "set date" but when I change date, title contains selected date rather than "set date". How can I set this dialog title permanently? Tested on API 8-10. Thank you in advance and sorry for my English. Patrick
