B4A Library [Class] AnotherDatePicker - A simple "web style" date picker

Erel · Mar 21, 2013

This is an old version. Latest version is included in XUI Views: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/100836/#content

AnotherDatePicker is an inline date picker:

The advantage of this class over the built-in dialog (DateDialog from the Dialogs library) is that you can easily customize it as needed.

Most of the layout is created with the visual designer and designer script.

ADP.GetDate returns the selected date.

The months names and days names are based on the device locale.

In order to use this class in your code you should add AnotherDatePicker class, reference DateUtils library and add DatePicker layout file to the Files tab.

Starting from v2.0, ADP should be added as a custom view from the designer:

v2.0 - Better support for visual designer and more configurable options (including first day of week).
v1.11 - Fixes an issue with SetDate that is called before the view is ready.
v1.10 - Adds a Closed event. See the attached example.

I have updated my attached edit in post #7 to reflect Erels' DateUtils update.

Hi Erel
If I tap on the '31', it shows "03/31/2013" and I am able to change the date again.

But when I tap on TODAY, it shows '03/31/2013" which is good. BUT I cannot tap on the LABEL1 again. It hung for a while... and sometimes the error "Unfortunately, B4A Example has stopped".

Are you running the example in the first post?

Can you post the error from the logs?

I would say yes as mine uses a button to trigger the datepicker. I did that for such cases

Hi Erel,
Not sure whether your question is directed to me...

Anyway... I'm using the latest sample (DateUtils was updated to v1.03) downloaded from 1st post. Steps to repro...
1) Launch sample
2) Tap on Label1 box
3) When calendar pops up, tap on day "20" (or any day)
4) Now Label1 box shows the date (e.g., 03/20/2013)
5) Now tap on Label1 box again
6) Calendar pops up. Tap on TODAY button
7) Label1 now shows "03/31/2013" (eg. at day of testing)
8) Now tap on LABEL1 box again. It hung. Message shows "Unfortunately, B4A Example has stopped"

How do I retrieve the log?

In the IDE, on the right hand panel, bottom of the screen you'll see a tab labeled "LOGS", click there, then uncheck the FILTER box.

Question, what version of B4A are you running?

Erel · Mar 31, 2013

I'm unable to reproduce it. The logs might be useful. You can also modify the code (or use barx version) to open the calendar with a push of a button.

Hi Erel,
No problem.. I can adapt the codes without the TODAY option...

Anyway, out of curosity, below is the log when I just tried it again (2nd April 2013)

I'm sorry but I'm unable to reproduce it. If someone else encounters this issue then please post the error message you get.

Calendar Weeks

Hi there,

I wish to in Erels "Another Date Picker" View the calendar weeks.

How can I integrate this with?

Can someone please give me jump start.

Greeting RauchG
newbie

Erel · Jun 2, 2013

Jump start:

You can use this code in DrawDays to calculate the weeks numbers:

B4X:

Dim firstWeek, lastWeek As Int
   firstWeek = DateTime.GetDayOfYear(DateUtils.SetDate(year, month, 1)) / 7 + 1
   lastWeek = DateTime.GetDayOfYear(DateUtils.SetDate(year, month, daysInMonth)) / 7 + 1
   For week = firstWeek To lastWeek
      Log(week)
   Next

RauchG · Jun 2, 2013

Jump Start

Thanks Erel

Hi Erel,

Even my device's date format is DD/MM/YYYY ADP displays selected date in MM/DD/YYYY format. What am I doing wrong?

PS : My devices date time settings are :
Automatic date and time (checked)
Automatic time zone (checked)
Language setting is American English
Android version 4.1.2

Erel · Jul 18, 2013

You can use:

B4X:

DateTime.DateFormat = DateTime.DeviceDefaultDateFormat

realblue · Jul 18, 2013

That didn't help, instead I used

B4X:

DateTime.DateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy"
