DatePicker in a DialogFragment ignores setCalendarViewShown
android, datepicker
Solution
In my "values-v21/styles.xml" I've modified activity theme as below it's hiding calendar & shows simple datepicker spinner. You might want to use a drawable with white background & rounded corners:
<item name="android:datePickerDialogTheme">@style/style_date_picker_dialog</item>
</style>
<style name="style_date_picker_dialog" parent="@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light">
<item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/dialog_background</item>
<item name="android:datePickerStyle">@style/style_datepicker</item>
</style>
<style name="style_datepicker" parent="android:Widget.Material.Light.DatePicker">
<item name="android:datePickerMode">spinner</item>
</style>
Problem
I wanted to show a DatePicker in a DialogFragment: ``` public class DatePickerDialogFragment extends DialogFragment { private OnDateSetListener dateSetListener = null; private String title = null; public DatePickerDialogFragment() {} public DatePickerDialogFragment(OnDateSetListener dateSetListener, String title) { this.dateSetListener = dateSetListener; this.title = title; } public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) { Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); int year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR); int month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH); int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); DatePickerDialog datePickerDialog = new DatePickerDialog(this.getActivity(), this.dateSetListener, year, month, day); datePickerDialog.getDatePicker().setCalendarViewShown(false); datePickerDialog.setTitle(this.title); return datePickerDialog; } } ``` Unfortunately `datePickerDialog.getDatePicker().setCalendarViewShown(false);` is completly ignored. I hate the calendar view because it is ugly and uncomfortable. So how can i disable it?
