Is there a way to set the date/time shown on a date picker or time picker which the user can then edit? I have looked on the android developer console and found nothing but i was wondering if there was still a way?

  • yes. Store the selected data/time in a `Calender` instance and then set that to the date/time picker next time the user opens it. – Elvis Chweya Feb 19 '16 at 15:38

Sure, TimePicker and DatePicker classes have the appropriate setters to set the desired time/date after you have instantiated them.

example:

final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
hour = c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
minute = c.get(Calendar.MINUTE);

timePicker1 = (TimePicker) findViewById(R.id.timePicker1); //supposed you have defined the "timePicker1" id in your layout xml
timePicker1.setCurrentHour(hour);
timePicker1.setCurrentMinute(minute);

  • What about for datepicker? i got the timepicker to work but not for datepicker, there is not function for setting the date – Elliot Archer Feb 24 '16 at 12:31
  • @ElliotArcher Read the DatePicker api for the init method: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/DatePicker.html – pleft Feb 24 '16 at 14:44
