We will describe the use of a Date Picker and Timer Picker Dialog in the android app where these components have been used to select date and time in a customized user interface (UI) also we can utilize the function of  DatePickerDialog and TimePickerDialog classes with the accessible calendar class in android code to complete the target.

 

Before all that, Hire Android App Developer who has a good knowledge to implement your idea into reality.

 

If you are expert in Android Studio the create project and start:

 

create java class name “MainActivity”

 

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

static final int TIME_DIALOG_ID = 1111;

private TextView view;

public Button btnClick;

private int hr;

private int min;

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

view = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.output);

final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();

hr = c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);

min = c.get(Calendar.MINUTE);

updateTime(hr, min);

addButtonClickListener();

}

public void addButtonClickListener() {

btnClick = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnClick);

btnClick.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

@Override

public void onClick(View v) {

createdDialog(0).show();

}

});

}

protected Dialog createdDialog(int id) {

switch (id) {

case TIME_DIALOG_ID:

return new TimePickerDialog(this, timePickerListener, hr, min, false);

}

return null;

}

private TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener timePickerListener = new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener() {

@Override

public void onTimeSet(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int minutes) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

hr = hourOfDay;

min = minutes;

updateTime(hr, min);

}

};

private static String utilTime(int value) {

if (value < 10) return "0" + String.valueOf(value); else return String.valueOf(value); } private void updateTime(int hours, int mins) { String timeSet = ""; if (hours > 12) {

hours -= 12;

timeSet = "PM";

} else if (hours == 0) {

hours += 12;

timeSet = "AM";

} else if (hours == 12)

timeSet = "PM";

else

timeSet = "AM";

String minutes = "";

if (mins < 10)

minutes = "0" + mins;

else

minutes = String.valueOf(mins);

String aTime = new StringBuilder().append(hours).append(':').append(minutes).append(" ").append(timeSet).toString();

view.setText(aTime);

}

 

 activity_main.xml

 

<?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:gravity="center"

android:orientation="vertical" >

<Button

android:id="@+id/btnClick"

android:padding="20dp"

android:background="@color/colorPrimary"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:text="Click Me &amp; Change Time" />

<TextView

android:id="@+id/lblTime"

android:layout_marginTop="20dp"

android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:text="Current Time"

android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

<TextView

android:id="@+id/output"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:text=""

android:textColor="@color/colorAccent"

android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

</LinearLayout>

After successfully doing this project, we can see the result of compiling.
