Supported-Picker-Dialogs - 🛑 DEPRECATED 🛑

This project repo is no longer being maintained.

Installation

Step 1: Add jitpack.io repository to your root build.gradle

allprojects {
 repositories {
    jcenter()
    maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
 }
}

Step 2. Add this dependency

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.Ibotta:Supported-Picker-Dialogs:1.0.0'
}

Usage

An Android DatePickerDialog and TimePickerDialog that works correctly on API 14+

The main reason for this library is to fix an issue with the spinner datepickermode and timepickermode style attributes not being applied to the DatePickerDialog and TimePickerDialog on devices running Android 7.0. Google responded that they wont fix the issue for 7.0 through these tracked issues: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37120178, https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37119315. It's a pretty strange issue with how the Android platform library handles these style attributes for the picker views. Fear not though! This library adds a SupportedDatePickerDialog and SupportedTimePickerDialog to your project to fix the issue. These classes can be used in place of any DatePickerDialog or TimePickerDialog and will continue to have the same functionality that these Android platform library's picker dialogs have.

Development

SupportedDatePickerDialog style example:

<style name="SpinnerDatePickerDialogTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog">
    <!-- android:datePickerStyle was not added until API 21 -->
    <item name="android:datePickerStyle">@style/DatePickerStyle</item>
</style>

<style name="DatePickerStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Material.Light.DatePicker">
    <item name="android:datePickerMode">spinner</item>
</style>

SupportedDatePickerDialog code example:

val currentDate = Calendar.getInstance()
val year = currentDate.get(Calendar.YEAR)
val month = currentDate.get(Calendar.MONTH)
val dayOfMonth = currentDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)
SupportedDatePickerDialog(this, R.style.SpinnerDatePickerDialogTheme, this, year, month, dayOfMonth).show()

SupportedTimePickerDialog style example:

<style name="SpinnerTimePickerDialogTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog">
    <!-- android:timePickerStyle was not added until API 21 -->
    <item name="android:timePickerStyle">@style/TimePickerStyle</item>
</style>

<style name="TimePickerStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Material.Light.TimePicker">
    <item name="android:timePickerMode">spinner</item>
</style>

SupportedTimePickerDialog code example:

val currentDate = Calendar.getInstance()
val month = currentDate.get(Calendar.MONTH)
val dayOfMonth = currentDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)
SupportedTimePickerDialog(
    context = this,
    themeResId =  R.style.SpinnerTimePickerDialogTheme,
    timeSetListener = this,
    mInitialHourOfDay = month,
    mInitialMinute = dayOfMonth,
    mIs24HourView = true)
    .show()
