Change font color of DatePicker in calendar view for Android

Question

I need to change font color for DatePicker, which is viewed as calendar. All responses that I found are suitable for spinners view. So is there a way to change font color in calendar view?

@user3110424 I think you misunderstood my question. I already have a datepicker with android:calendarViewShown="true". All I need is to change it's color — Mykhailo Granik, Jan 06 '14 at 12:36
https://github.com/SimonVT/android-datepicker. check this if it helps. and this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20148671/android-how-to-change-the-color-of-the-datepicker-divider which uses reflection to change the divider color. — Raghunandan, Jan 06 '14 at 12:38

You can do this using getDeclaredFields() method

Sample: Here I changed textsize and padding and it works for me.

DatePicker datepicker = (DatePicker) findViewById(R.id.datePicker);

    try {
        Field f[] = datepicker.getClass().getDeclaredFields();
        for (Field field : f) 
        {
            if (field.getName().equals("mYearPicker")) 
            {
                field.setAccessible(true);
                Object yearPicker = new Object();
                yearPicker = field.get(datepicker);
                ((View) yearPicker).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                ((View) yearPicker).setPadding(-2, 0, -2, 0);

                View childpicker;
                childpicker = (View) findViewById(Resources.getSystem().getIdentifier("year", "id","android"));
                EditText textview = (EditText) childpicker.findViewById(Resources.getSystem().getIdentifier("timepicker_input", "id", "android"));
                textview.setTextSize(26);
                textview.setPadding(-3, 0, -3, 0);

                //System.out.println("ss1:"+field);
            }

            if (field.getName().equals("mDayPicker")) 
            {
                field.setAccessible(true);
                Object yearPicker = new Object();
                yearPicker = field.get(datepicker);
                ((View) yearPicker).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                ((View) yearPicker).setPadding(-2, 0, -2, 0);


                View childpicker;
                childpicker = (View) findViewById(Resources.getSystem().getIdentifier("month", "id","android"));
                EditText textview = (EditText) childpicker.findViewById(Resources.getSystem().getIdentifier("timepicker_input", "id", "android"));
                textview.setTextSize(26);
                textview.setPadding(-3, 0, -3, 0);

                //System.out.println("ss2:"+field);
            }

            if (field.getName().equals("mMonthPicker")) 
            {
                field.setAccessible(true);
                Object yearPicker = new Object();
                yearPicker = field.get(datepicker);
                ((View) yearPicker).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                ((View) yearPicker).setPadding(-2, 0, -2, 0);

                View childpicker;
                childpicker = (View) findViewById(Resources.getSystem().getIdentifier("day", "id","android"));
                EditText textview = (EditText) childpicker.findViewById(Resources.getSystem().getIdentifier("timepicker_input", "id", "android"));
                textview.setTextSize(26);
                textview.setPadding(-3, 0, -3, 0);
                //System.out.println("ss3:"+field);
            }
            //System.out.println("ss:"+field);


        }
    } catch (SecurityException e) {
        Log.d("ERROR", e.getMessage());
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
        Log.d("ERROR", e.getMessage());
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
        Log.d("ERROR", e.getMessage());
    }catch (Exception e) {
        Log.d("ERROR", e.getMessage());
    }

Are you sure your code is valid for DatePicker with android:calendarViewShown="true"? — Mykhailo Granik, Jan 06 '14 at 12:42
never tried for `android:calendarViewShown="true"` but it worked for only datepicker — Ketan Ahir, Jan 06 '14 at 12:45
