DatePickerDialog display year picker first

Question

I want my DatePickerDialog as soon as it opens to display the list of years.

For example, when I show the dialog I see the calendar view: calendar_view :

If I tap on the text "1900" the year view is shown: year_view

I tried this code but it had no effect and I'm clueless for what I could do: DatePickerDialog birthDatePicker = new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, 0, 0, 0); birthDatePicker.getDatePicker().setSpinnersShown(true); birthDatePicker.show();

So silly that it doesn't have an option to show the year view first. — Zapnologica, Feb 04 '17 at 08:24

Same as Show year selection first in Android Calendar View

I will copy here my answer:

You can get a reference to year view and then just simulate user click to open it.

dataPicker.getTouchables().get( 0 ).performClick();

Using the Datepicker XML modifications you can elect to show spinners instead of the Calendar, which might be beneficial for you as you want to directly edit the years.

android:datePickerMode="spinner"
