Android DatePickerDialog Tutorial with Examples
1. Android DatePickerDialog
No ADS
Android DatePickerDialog puts a DatePicker on a Dialog. It allows the user to choose a Date. Basically, there is no significant difference between DatePickerDialog and DatePicker, but if you want to save application space, I will recommend you to choose DatePickerDialog.
DatePickerDialog is created at the application runtime when the user needs to select a Date. You can create and get it displayed by using the Java code:
DatePickerDialog (Calendar Mode) (Default)
int selectedYear = 2000;
int selectedMonth = 5;
int selectedDayOfMonth = 10;
// Date Select Listener.
DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener dateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
@Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year,
int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
editTextDate.setText(dayOfMonth + "-" + (monthOfYear + 1) + "-" + year);
}
};
// Create DatePickerDialog (Spinner Mode):
DatePickerDialog datePickerDialog = new DatePickerDialog(this,
dateSetListener, selectedYear, selectedMonth, selectedDayOfMonth);
// Show
datePickerDialog.show();
DatePickerDialog (Spinner Mode)
int selectedYear = 2000;
int selectedMonth = 5;
int selectedDayOfMonth = 10;
// Date Select Listener.
DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener dateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
@Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year,
int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
editTextDate.setText(dayOfMonth + "-" + (monthOfYear + 1) + "-" + year);
}
};
// Create DatePickerDialog (Spinner Mode):
DatePickerDialog datePickerDialog = new DatePickerDialog(this,
android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Light_Dialog_NoActionBar,
dateSetListener, selectedYear, selectedMonth, selectedDayOfMonth);
// Show
datePickerDialog.show();

Now, create a new project on Android Studio:
- File > New > New Project > Empty Activity
- Name: DatePickerDialogExample
- Package name: org.o7planning.datepickerdialogexample
- Language: Java
The interface of the application will look like this:
