DatePicker


open class DatePicker : FrameLayout
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.view.View
   ↳ android.view.ViewGroup
   ↳ android.widget.FrameLayout
   ↳ android.widget.DatePicker

Provides a widget for selecting a date.

When the android.R.styleable#DatePicker_datePickerMode attribute is set to spinner, the date can be selected using year, month, and day spinners or a CalendarView. The set of spinners and the calendar view are automatically synchronized. The client can customize whether only the spinners, or only the calendar view, or both to be displayed.

When the android.R.styleable#DatePicker_datePickerMode attribute is set to calendar, the month and day can be selected using a calendar-style view while the year can be selected separately using a list.

See the Pickers guide.

For a dialog using this view, see android.app.DatePickerDialog.

Public methods

autofill

Added in API level 26
open fun autofill(value: AutofillValue!): Unit

Automatically fills the content of this view with the value.

Views support the Autofill Framework mainly by:

  • Providing the metadata defining what the view means and how it can be autofilled.
  • Implementing the methods that autofill the view.

onProvideAutofillStructure(android.view.ViewStructure,int) is responsible for the former, this method is responsible for latter.

This method does nothing by default, but when overridden it typically:

  1. Checks if the provided value matches the expected type (which is defined by getAutofillType()).
  2. Checks if the view is editable - if it isn't, it should return right away.
  3. Call the proper getter method on AutofillValue to fetch the actual value.
  4. Pass the actual value to the equivalent setter in the view.

For example, a text-field view could implement the method this way:

@Override
  public void autofill(AutofillValue value) {
    if (!value.isText() || !this.isEditable()) {
       return;
    }
    CharSequence text = value.getTextValue();
    if (text != null) {
      this.setText(text);
    }
  }
  

If the value is updated asynchronously, the next call to AutofillManager.notifyValueChanged(View) must happen after the value was changed to the autofilled value. If not, the view will not be considered autofilled.

Note: After this method is called, the value returned by getAutofillValue() must be equal to the value passed to it, otherwise the view will not be highlighted as autofilled.

Parameters
value AutofillValue!: value to be autofilled.

dispatchProvideAutofillStructure

Added in API level 26
open fun dispatchProvideAutofillStructure(
    structure: ViewStructure,
    flags: Int
): Unit

Dispatches creation of a ViewStructures for autofill purposes down the hierarchy, when an Assist structure is being created as part of an autofill request.

The default implementation does the following:

Typically, this method should only be overridden by subclasses that provide a view hierarchy (such as ViewGroup) - other classes should override onProvideAutofillStructure(android.view.ViewStructure,int) or onProvideAutofillVirtualStructure(android.view.ViewStructure,int) instead.

When overridden, it must:

  • Either call super.dispatchProvideAutofillStructure(structure, flags) or explicitly set the AutofillId in the structure (for example, by calling structure.setAutofillId(getAutofillId())).
  • Decide how to handle the AUTOFILL_FLAG_INCLUDE_NOT_IMPORTANT_VIEWS flag - when set, all views in the structure should be considered important for autofill, regardless of what isImportantForAutofill() returns. We encourage you to respect this flag to provide a better user experience - this flag is typically used when an user explicitly requested autofill. If the flag is not set, then only views marked as important for autofill should be included in the structure - skipping non-important views optimizes the overall autofill performance.

This implementation adds in all child views of the view group, in addition to calling the default View implementation.

Parameters
structure ViewStructure: fill in with structured view data for autofill purposes.
This value cannot be null.
flags Int: Value is either 0 or

getAccessibilityClassName

Added in API level 23
open fun getAccessibilityClassName(): CharSequence!

Return the class name of this object to be used for accessibility purposes. Subclasses should only override this if they are implementing something that should be seen as a completely new class of view when used by accessibility, unrelated to the class it is deriving from. This is used to fill in AccessibilityNodeInfo.setClassName.

getAutofillType

Added in API level 26
open fun getAutofillType(): Int

Describes the autofill type of this view, so an android.service.autofill.AutofillService can create the proper AutofillValue when autofilling the view.

By default returns AUTOFILL_TYPE_NONE, but views should override it to properly support the Autofill Framework.

Return
Int Value is one of the following:

getAutofillValue

Added in API level 26
open fun getAutofillValue(): AutofillValue?

Gets the View's current autofill value.

By default returns null, but subclasses should override it and return an appropriate value to properly support the Autofill Framework.

Protected methods

dispatchRestoreInstanceState

Added in API level 1
protected open fun dispatchRestoreInstanceState(container: SparseArray<Parcelable!>!): Unit

Called by restoreHierarchyState(android.util.SparseArray) to retrieve the state for this view and its children. May be overridden to modify how restoring happens to a view's children; for example, some views may want to not store state for their children.

Parameters
container SparseArray<Parcelable!>!: The SparseArray which holds previously saved state.

onConfigurationChanged

Added in API level 8
protected open fun onConfigurationChanged(newConfig: Configuration!): Unit

Called when the current configuration of the resources being used by the application have changed. You can use this to decide when to reload resources that can changed based on orientation and other configuration characteristics. You only need to use this if you are not relying on the normal android.app.Activity mechanism of recreating the activity instance upon a configuration change.

Parameters
newConfig Configuration!: The new resource configuration.

onRestoreInstanceState

Added in API level 1
protected open fun onRestoreInstanceState(state: Parcelable!): Unit

Hook allowing a view to re-apply a representation of its internal state that had previously been generated by onSaveInstanceState. This function will never be called with a null state.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
state Parcelable!: The frozen state that had previously been returned by onSaveInstanceState.

onSaveInstanceState

Added in API level 1
protected open fun onSaveInstanceState(): Parcelable?

Hook allowing a view to generate a representation of its internal state that can later be used to create a new instance with that same state. This state should only contain information that is not persistent or can not be reconstructed later. For example, you will never store your current position on screen because that will be computed again when a new instance of the view is placed in its view hierarchy.

Some examples of things you may store here: the current cursor position in a text view (but usually not the text itself since that is stored in a content provider or other persistent storage), the currently selected item in a list view.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Return
Parcelable? Returns a Parcelable object containing the view's current dynamic state, or null if there is nothing interesting to save.
