RetainedDateTimePickers

Android Library to help you with your date & time pickers while retaining the instance of the pickers on orientation change.

Installation

Gradle

compile 'com.github.k0shk0sh:RetainedDateTimePickers:1.0.2'

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.k0shk0sh</groupId>
  <artifactId>RetainedDateTimePickers</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.2</version>
  <type>aar</type>
</dependency>

Usage

Your Activity or Fragment must implement DatePickerCallback and or TimePickerCallback to receive the selected date & selected time if applicable.

RetainedDateTimePickers should be treated as any normal DialogFragment:

  • DatePickerDialog Only
DatePickerFragmentDialog.newInstance().show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "DatePickerFragmentDialog");
  • TimePickerDialog Only
//default  12 hours format
TimePickerFragmentDialog.newInstance().show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "TimePickerFragmentDialog");
//24 hours format
TimePickerFragmentDialog.newInstance(true).show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "TimePickerFragmentDialog");
  • DateTimePickerDialog
DatePickerFragmentDialog.newInstance(true).show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "DatePickerFragmentDialog");
  • Date & Time PickerDialog Customization
DatePickerFragmentDialog.newInstance(
        DateTimeBuilder.get()
                .withTime(true)
                .with24Hours(true)
                .withSelectedDate(currentDate.getTimeInMillis())
                .withMinDate(minDate.getTimeInMillis())
                .withMaxDate(maxDate.getTimeInMillis())
                .withCurrentHour(12)
                .withCurrentMinute(30)
                .withTheme(R.style.PickersTheme))
        .show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "DatePickerFragmentDialog");

To understand more how the library works, please take a look at the sample app.

Why this library?

  • DatePickerDialog & TimePickerDialog are not retained on orientation change, you'd do a lot of work to retain them, this library simplify that.
  • It uses DatePickerDialog & TimePickerDialog internally.
  • Its simple to use.
  • Its Customizable (Support Custom Themes).
  • Minimum API is 16, but it'll probably work in API 9 and above, just make sure you test it out (we use Support Fragment).

Dependency

Android Support Fragment Library v24.2.1
