Material DateTime Picker - Select a time/date in style

Material DateTime Picker tries to offer you the date and time pickers as shown in the Material Design spec, with an easy themable API. The library uses the code from the Android frameworks as a base and tweaked it to be as close as possible to Material Design example.

Support for Android 4.0 and up.

Setup

The easiest way to add the Material DateTime Picker library to your project is by adding it as a dependency to your build.gradle

dependencies {

compile 'com.wdullaer:materialdatetimepicker:3.4.0' 
}

You may also add the library as an Android Library to your project. All the library files live in library.

Using Material Date/Time Pickers

The library follows the same API as other pickers in the Android framework. For a basic implementation, you'll need to

Implement an OnTimeSetListener/ OnDateSetListener
Create a TimePickerDialog/ DatePickerDialog using the supplied factory
Theme the pickers

Implement an `OnTimeSetListener`/ `OnDateSetListener`

In order to receive the date or time set in the picker, you will need to implement the OnTimeSetListener or OnDateSetListener interfaces. Typically this will be the Activity or Fragment that creates the Pickers. The callbacks use the same API as the standard Android pickers.

@Override public void onTimeSet(RadialPickerLayout view, int hourOfDay, int minute, int second) {

String time = "You picked the following time: "+hourOfDay+"h"+minute+"m"+second;
timeTextView.setText(time);
 
}
  @Override public void onDateSet(DatePickerDialog view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {

String date = "You picked the following date: "+dayOfMonth+"/"+(monthOfYear+1)+"/"+year;
dateTextView.setText(date);
 
}

Create a `TimePickerDialog`/ `DatePickerDialog` using the supplied factory

You will need to create a new instance of TimePickerDialog or DatePickerDialog using the static newInstance() method, supplying proper default values and a callback. Once the dialogs are configured, you can call show().

Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
 DatePickerDialog dpd = DatePickerDialog.newInstance(
MainActivity.this,
now.get(Calendar.YEAR),
now.get(Calendar.MONTH),
now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) );
 dpd.show(getFragmentManager(), "Datepickerdialog");

Theme the pickers

The library contains 2 layout versions for each picker.

Version 1: this is the original layout. It is based on the layout google used in the kitkat and early material design era
Version 2: this layout is based on the guidelines google posted when launching android marshmallow. This is the default and still the most current design.

You can set the layout version using the factory

dpd.setVersion(DatePickerDialog.Version.VERSION_2);

The pickers will be themed automatically based on the current theme where they are created, based on the current colorAccent. You can also theme the dialogs via the setAccentColor(int color) method. Alternatively, you can theme the pickers by overwriting the color resources mdtp_accent_color and mdtp_accent_color_dark in your project.

<color name="mdtp_accent_color">#009688</color> <color name="mdtp_accent_color_dark">#00796b</color>

The exact order in which colors are selected is as follows:

setAccentColor(int color) in java code
android.R.attr.colorAccent (if android 5.0+)
R.attr.colorAccent (eg. when using AppCompat)
R.color.mdtp_accent_color and R.color.mdtp_accent_color_dark if none of the others are set in your project

The pickers also have a dark theme. This can be specified globablly using the mdtp_theme_dark attribute in your theme or the setThemeDark(boolean themeDark) functions. The function calls overwrite the XML setting.

<item name="mdtp_theme_dark">true</item>

Additional Options

TimePickerDialog dark theme
The TimePickerDialog has a dark theme that can be set by calling

tpd.setThemeDark(true);

DatePickerDialog dark theme The DatePickerDialog has a dark theme that can be set by calling

dpd.setThemeDark(true);

setAccentColor(String color) and setAccentColor(int color) Set the accentColor to be used by the Dialog. The String version parses the color out using Color.parseColor(). The int version requires a ColorInt bytestring. It will explicitly set the color to fully opaque.
setOkColor() and setCancelColor() Set the text color for the OK or Cancel button. Behaves similar to setAccentColor()
TimePickerDialog setTitle(String title)
Shows a title at the top of the TimePickerDialog
DatePickerDialog setTitle(String title) Shows a title at the top of the DatePickerDialog instead of the day of the week
setOkText() and setCancelText()
Set a custom text for the dialog Ok and Cancel labels. Can take a resourceId of a String. Works in both the DatePickerDialog and TimePickerDialog
setMinTime(Timepoint time)
Set the minimum valid time to be selected. Time values earlier in the day will be deactivated
setMaxTime(Timepoint time)
Set the maximum valid time to be selected. Time values later in the day will be deactivated
setSelectableTimes(Timepoint[] times)
You can pass in an array of Timepoints. These values are the only valid selections in the picker. setMinTime(Timepoint time), setMaxTime(Timepoint time) and setDisabledTimes(Timepoint[] times) will further trim this list down. Try to specify Timepoints only up to the resolution of your picker (i.e. do not add seconds if the resolution of the picker is minutes).
setDisabledTimes(Timepoint[] times)
You can pass in an array of Timepoints. These values will not be available for selection. These take precedence over setSelectableTimes and setTimeInterval. Be careful when using this without selectableTimes: rounding to a valid Timepoint is a very expensive operation if a lot of consecutive Timepoints are disabled. Try to specify Timepoints only up to the resolution of your picker (i.e. do not add seconds if the resolution of the picker is minutes).
setTimeInterval(int hourInterval, int minuteInterval, int secondInterval)
Set the interval for selectable times in the TimePickerDialog. This is a convenience wrapper around setSelectableTimes. The interval for all three time components can be set independently. If you are not using the seconds / minutes picker, set the respective item to 60 for better performance.
setTimepointLimiter(TimepointLimiter limiter)
Pass in a custom implementation of TimeLimiter Disables setSelectableTimes, setDisabledTimes, setTimeInterval, setMinTime and setMaxTime
setSelectableDays(Calendar[] days)
You can pass a Calendar[] to the DatePickerDialog. The values in this list are the only acceptable dates for the picker. It takes precedence over setMinDate(Calendar day) and setMaxDate(Calendar day)
setDisabledDays(Calendar[] days)
The values in this Calendar[] are explicitly disabled (not selectable). This option can be used together with setSelectableDays(Calendar[] days): in case there is a clash setDisabledDays(Calendar[] days) will take precedence over setSelectableDays(Calendar[] days)
setHighlightedDays(Calendar[] days)
You can pass a Calendar[] of days to highlight. They will be rendered in bold. You can tweak the color of the highlighted days by overwriting mdtp_date_picker_text_highlighted
showYearPickerFirst(boolean yearPicker)
Show the year picker first, rather than the month and day picker.
OnDismissListener and OnCancelListener
Both pickers can be passed a DialogInterface.OnDismissLisener or DialogInterface.OnCancelListener which allows you to run code when either of these events occur.

tpd.setOnCancelListener(new DialogInterface.OnCancelListener() {

  @Override
  public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialogInterface) {

 Log.d("TimePicker", "Dialog was cancelled");

  
}
 
}
);

vibrate(boolean vibrate)
Set whether the dialogs should vibrate the device when a selection is made. This defaults to true.
dismissOnPause(boolean dismissOnPause)
Set whether the picker dismisses itself when the parent Activity is paused or whether it recreates itself when the Activity is resumed.
DatePickerDialog autoDismiss(boolean autoDismiss) If set to true will dismiss the picker when the user selects a date. This defaults to false.
TimepickerDialog enableSeconds(boolean enableSconds) and enableMinutes(boolean enableMinutes) Allows you to enable or disable a seconds and minutes picker ont he TimepickerDialog. Enabling the seconds picker, implies enabling the minutes picker. Disabling the minute picker will disable the seconds picker. The last applied setting will be used. By default enableSeconds = false and enableMinutes = true.
DatePickerDialog setTimeZone(Timezone timezone)
Sets the Timezone used to represent time internally in the picker. Defaults to the current default Timezone of the device.
DatePickerDialog setDateRangeLimiter(DateRangeLimiter limiter) Provide a custom implementation of DateRangeLimiter, giving you full control over which days are available for selection. This disables all of the other options that limit date selection.
getOnTimeSetListener() and getOnDateSetListener()
Getters that allow the retrieval of a reference to the callbacks currently associated with the pickers

FAQ

Why not use `SupportDialogFragment`?

Not using the support library versions has been a well considered choice, based on the following considerations:

Less than 5% of the devices using the android market do not support native Fragments, a number which will decrease even further going forward.
Even if you use SupportFragments in your application, you can still use the normal FragmentManager. Both can exist side by side.

This means that in the current setup everyone can use the library: people using the support library and people not using the support library.

Finally changing to SupportDialogFragment now will break the API for all the people using this library.

If you do really need SupportDialogFragment, you can fork the library (It involves changing all of 2 lines of code, so it should be easy enough to keep it up to date with the upstream) or use this fork: https://github.com/infinum/MaterialDateTimePicker

dependencies {

compile 'co.infinum:materialdatetimepicker-support:3.4.0' 
}

Why does the `DatePickerDialog` return the selected month -1?

In the java Calendar class months use 0 based indexing: January is month 0, December is month 11. This convention is widely used in the java world, for example the native Android DatePicker.

How do I use a different version of the support library in my app?

This library depends on the android support library. Because the jvm allows only one version of a fully namespaced class to be loaded, you will run into issues if your app depends on a different version of the support library than the one used in this app. Gradle is generally quite good at resolving version conflicts (be default it will retain the latest version of a library), but should you run into problems (eg because you disabled conflict resolution), you can disable loading the support library for MaterialDateTimePicker.

Using the following snippet in your apps build.gradle file you can exclude this library's transitive support library dependency from being installed.

compile ('com.wdullaer:materialdatetimepicker:3.4.0') {

exclude group: 'com.android.support' 
}

Your app will need to depend on at least the following pieces of the support library

compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.0.1' compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:26.0.1' compile 'com.android.support:design:26.0.1'

This will work fine as long as the support library version your app depends on is recent enough (supports RecyclerView) and google doesn't release a version in the future that contains breaking changes. (If/When this happens I will try hard to document this). See issue #338 for more information.

How do I use my custom logic to enable/disable dates?

DatePickerDialog exposes some utility methods to enable / disable dates for common scenario's. If your needs are not covered by these, you can supply a custom implementation of the DateRangeLimiter interface. Because the DateRangeLimiter is preserved when the Dialog pauzes, your implementation must also implement Parcelable.

class MyDateRangeLimiter implements DateRangeLimiter {

public MyDateRangeLimiter(Parcel in) {

 
}

 @Override
public int getMinYear() {

  return 1900;

}

 @Override
public int getMaxYear() {

  return 2100;

}

 @Override
public Calendar getStartDate() {

  Calendar output = Calendar.newInstance();

  output.set(Calendar.YEAR, 1900);

  output.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);

  output.set(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.JANUARY);

  return output;

}

 @Override
public Calendar getEndDate() {

  Calendar output = Calendar.newInstance();

  output.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2100);

  output.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);

  output.set(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.JANUARY);

  return output;

}

 @Override
public boolean isOutOfRange(int year, int month, int day) {

  return false;

}

 @Override
public Calendar setToNearestDate(Calendar day) {

 return day;

}

 @Override
public void writeToParcel(Parcel out) {

 
}

 @Override
public int describeContents() {

  return 0;

}

 public static final Parcelable.Creator<MyDateRangeLimiter> CREATOR

= new Parcelable.Creator<MyDateRangeLimiter>() {

  public MyDateRangeLimiter createFromParcel(Parcel in) {

return new MyDateRangeLimiter(in);

  
}

public MyDateRangeLimiter[] newArray(int size) {

return new MyDateRangeLimiter[size];
  
}

}
; 
}

When you provide a custom DateRangeLimiter the built-in methods for setting the enabled / disabled dates will no longer work. It will need to be completely handled by your implementation.

Why are my callbacks lost when the device changes orientation?

The simple solution is to dismiss the pickers when your activity is paused.

tpd.dismissOnPause(true);

If you do wish to retain the pickers when an orientation change occurs, things become a bit more tricky.

By default, when an orientation changes occurs android will destroy and recreate your entire Activity. Wherever possible this library will retain its state on an orientation change. The only notable exceptions are the different callbacks and listeners. These interfaces are often implemented on Activities or Fragments. Naively trying to retain them would cause memory leaks. Apart from explicitly requiring that the callback interfaces are implemented on an Activity, there is no safe way to properly retain the callbacks, that I'm aware off.

This means that it is your responsibility to set the listeners in your Activity's onResume() callback.

@Override public void onResume() {

super.onResume();

 DatePickerDialog dpd = (DatePickerDialog) getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("Datepickerdialog");

TimePickerDialog tpd = (TimePickerDialog) getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("TimepickerDialog");

 if(tpd != null) tpd.setOnTimeSetListener(this);

if(dpd != null) dpd.setOnDateSetListener(this);
 
}
