I am using a tutorial i found on the net for datepicker.But i want to set the maximum and minimum date for the datepicker.Also i have heard that there is an issue for API level less than 11.
My code:
package com.androidexample.datepicker;
import java.util.Calendar;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.DatePickerDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.DatePicker;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class DatePickerExample extends Activity {
private TextView Output;
private Button changeDate;
private int year;
private int month;
private int day;
static final int DATE_PICKER_ID = 1111;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Output = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.Output);
changeDate = (Button) findViewById(R.id.changeDate);
// Get current date by calender
final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
year = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
day = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
// Show current date
Output.setText(new StringBuilder()
// Month is 0 based, just add 1
.append(month + 1).append("-").append(day).append("-")
.append(year).append(" "));
// Button listener to show date picker dialog
changeDate.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// On button click show datepicker dialog
showDialog(DATE_PICKER_ID);
}
});
}
@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
switch (id) {
case DATE_PICKER_ID:
// open datepicker dialog.
// set date picker for current date
// add pickerListener listner to date picker
return new DatePickerDialog(this, pickerListener, year, month,day);
}
return null;
}
private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener pickerListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
// when dialog box is closed, below method will be called.
@Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int selectedYear,
int selectedMonth, int selectedDay) {
year = selectedYear;
month = selectedMonth;
day = selectedDay;
// Show selected date
Output.setText(new StringBuilder().append(month + 1)
.append("-").append(day).append("-").append(year)
.append(" "));
}
};
}
The xml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/changeDate"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Click To Change Date" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Current/Selected Date (M-D-YYYY): "
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/Output"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=""
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
</LinearLayout>
The problem with the above code is that there is no upper limit on the year part.I also need a lower limit on the year part.Can someone tell me as how to modify the code to set the upper and lower limit on the year part?
