This is my code for selecting the date from a date picker.
import java.util.Calendar;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.DatePickerDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.DatePicker;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class CurrentDateActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private EditText mDateDisplay,mDateSelect;
private int mYear,mMonth,mDay;
private int year,month,day;
Button selectBtn = null;
Calendar c = null;
static final int DATE_DIALOG_ID = 0;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.date_select);
selectBtn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.BtnSubmit);
mDateDisplay = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.currentDate);
mDateSelect = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.dateofBirth);
// add a click listener to the button
mDateSelect.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
showDialog(DATE_DIALOG_ID);
}
});
getCurrentDate();//get the current date
// display the current date
mDateDisplay.setText(getString(R.string.strSelectedDate,
new StringBuilder()
// Month is 0 based so add 1
.append(mDay).append("/")
.append(mMonth + 1).append("/")
.append(mYear).append(" "))
);
}
private void getCurrentDate(){
// get the current date
c = Calendar.getInstance();
mYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
mMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
mDay = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
}
// updates the date in the EditText
private void updateDisplay() {
mDateSelect.setText(getString(R.string.strSelectedDate,
new StringBuilder()
.append(mDay).append("/")
.append(mMonth + 1).append("/")
.append(mYear).append(" "))
);
}
// the callback received when the user "sets" the date in the dialog
private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mDateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
mYear = year;
mMonth = monthOfYear;
mDay = dayOfMonth;
updateDisplay();
}
};
@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
switch (id) {
case DATE_DIALOG_ID:
return new DatePickerDialog(this, mDateSetListener, mYear, mMonth,
mDay);
}
return null;
}
}
Everything is fine but now i want to get both the current date and the date entered by the user in another activity in order to calculate the difference between them. But how to pass the date in intent i am not able to understand.Please help
