HijriDatePickerPlus

HijriDatePickerPlus is an advanced Android date picker built using Jetpack Compose, designed for selecting dates in the Hijri (Islamic) calendar. The picker now uses the widely supported IslamicCalendar class, offering flexibility and compatibility across various regions, with support for the "umalqura", "civil", or "islamic" calendar types.

Features

• Full support for Islamic Calendar systems, including Umm Al-Qura, Islamic Civil, and General Islamic.
• Custom date picker interface using Jetpack Compose.
• Year selection with smooth scrolling and customizable font sizes.
• Day picker automatically adjusts for the correct number of days in each Hijri month.
• Ensures the app doesn't crash when selecting an invalid date in a Hijri month.
• Lightweight and responsive UI for a smooth user experience.

Why Use IslamicCalendar?

While the Umm Al-Qura calendar is specific to Saudi Arabia and suitable for regional use, the IslamicCalendar provides broader support globally. It offers flexibility for international users with support for various calendar types, including Islamic Civil and General Islamic calendars.

How to Use

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/YourUsername/HijriDatePickerPlus.git
2. Open the project in Android Studio.
3. Build and run the project on an Android device or emulator.
4. Incorporate the Hijri date picker into your project by copying the necessary components from the codebase.

How to Use the Library

To use HijriDatePickerPlus in your Android project, follow these steps:

1. Add the Dependency

First, add the dependency to your project's build.gradle file. Make sure your project is set up to use JitPack by adding the JitPack repository in your settings.gradle or build.gradle (for Gradle version catalog users, include this in your version catalog file):

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url = uri("https://jitpack.io") }
    }
}

Then, add the following to your app-level build.gradle file under dependencies:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.mohamedma872:HijriDatePickerPlus:Tag'
}

Replace Tag with the latest version, which you can find here.

2. Initialize and Display the Hijri Date Picker

To use the date picker, simply call the HijriDatePickerPlus component in your Composable function. Here's an example of how to integrate it into your app:

@Composable
fun ShowHijriDatePicker() {
    // Example of how to trigger the date picker using different calendar types
 HijriDatePickerButton()

OR
    showHijriDatePicker(
        initialYear = 1446, // Pass the initial year, e.g., current Hijri year
        initialMonth = 1,   // Initial month
        initialDay = 10,    // Initial day
        onDateSelected = { year, month, day ->
            // Handle date selected (year, month, day)
            println("Selected Date: $day-${getHijriMonthName(month)}-$year")
        },
        onConfirm = { year, month, day ->
            // Handle the final confirmed date
            println("Confirmed Date: $day-${getHijriMonthName(month)}-$year")
        },
        onDismissRequest = {
            // Handle the dismiss action
            println("Date Picker Dismissed")
        },
        calendarType = "umalqura" // Use "umalqura", "civil", or "islamic"
    )
}

3. Customize the Picker

You can modify the picker to suit your design needs by adjusting properties such as:

• Year/Month/Day Display: Modify the visual appearance by changing the text size, colors, and layout in the HeaderSection, YearSelectionScreen, and FooterSection components.
• Hijri Calendar: The library uses the IslamicCalendar class for date calculations. You can directly interact with this class for customization or region-specific adjustments.

Getting the Current Date Using the Desired Calendar Type

You can easily get the current date based on the Umm Al-Qura, Islamic Civil, or General Islamic calendar using the following function:

For example, to get the current date for the selected calendar type:

// Get the current Hijri date using the desired calendar type
val currentHijriCalendar = getIslamicCalendar("umalqura")
val currentHijriYear = currentHijriCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR)
val currentHijriMonth = currentHijriCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH)
val currentHijriDay = currentHijriCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)

println("Current Hijri Date: $currentHijriDay-${getHijriMonthName(currentHijriMonth)}-$currentHijriYear")

4. Customize the Picker

You can modify the picker to suit your design needs by adjusting properties such as:

• Year/Month/Day Display: You can modify the visual appearance by changing the text size, colors, and layout in the HeaderSection, YearSelectionScreen, and FooterSection components.
• Hijri Calendar: The library uses the IslamicCalendar class for date calculations. You can directly interact with this class if you need further customization or region-specific adjustments.

Fixes and Solutions

HijriDatePickerPlus implements a critical fix for date validation in the Hijri calendar, ensuring that selecting a day beyond the valid number of days in a month (e.g., selecting the 30th day in a month with only 29 days) doesn't cause the app to crash. The picker automatically adjusts the selected day to the correct number of days in each month.

Installation

To install and use HijriDatePickerPlus in your project:

1. Download or clone the project from GitHub.
2. Open the project in Android Studio.
3. Run the app or extract relevant components to use in your own application.

Customization

You can customize the appearance and behavior of the HijriDatePickerPlus by adjusting the following:

• Modify the year and month picker layouts to fit your UI needs.
• Change the font sizes, colors, or padding for year and day selections.
• Use the IslamicCalendar class directly for further custom functionality or region-specific adaptations.
