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

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.

Declare a boolean module variable like DPIsShown and check it on Activity_KeyPress.

Moreover,
this command: ADP.btnCancel_Click gives me an exception :

java.lang.RuntimeException: Object was not initialized.

when used like this:

ADP.btnCancel_Click
Return True
end sub

I don't remember how ADP works, I was writing generally.

You could hide the ADP panel:
Dim pnl As Panel = YourADP.AsView
pnl.Visible = False

See the example in the first post. It already implements this.

Yeah, that was exaclty how I had implemented it, however I declared a different name for the ADP in the designer than the one in the Globals, that's why it was failing..
Dumb mistake of mine..

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 v1.10 the simplest way to add the picker is with the designer. You should add a CustomView and then choose AnotherDatePicker as the custom view type:

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.

Hi,

I cannot find "AnotherDatePicker" option in my custom view, I have added the class and referenced the DateUtils and added DatePicker layout but I can see the class in the dropdown menu

 

[Erel]

You need to add a CustomView and then change its CustomType property.

this is what I triedto do, but I cannot find "AnotherDatePicker" in the property

 

[Erel]

Do you see it when you open the project attached to the first post?

 

[Adilson Jacinto]

Do you see it when you open the project attached to the first post?

No I don't even see it there

 

[Erel]

It should look like this:

 

[Adilson Jacinto]

It should look like this:

Please have a look at the screen shot

 

[Erel]

What happens when you open the layout from the example project? Is the custom type empty?

 

[Adilson Jacinto]

Yes it is empty

 

[Adilson Jacinto]

What happens when you open the layout from the example project? Is the custom type empty?

Any suggestions? It is really strange that it doesn't come up.

 

[Erel]

1. What happens when you run the example code? Does it work?

2. Check the CustomListView example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...xible-list-based-on-scrollview.19567/#content ?

Do you see the custom type there?

Do you see the custom type there?

1. What happens when you run the example code? Does it work? - It does not work, it does show the AnotherDatePicker class in the custom view type
2. Check the CustomListView example: - Yes I tried that example and it has the class in there
Do you see the custom type there? - YES

 

[Erel]

I'm not sure that I understand. In the previous post (#174) you wrote that the custom type field is empty. Do you see the custom type with the example project or not?
Which error do you get when you run it?

Who is able to me sagem like one gets a picture in the calendar indicated instead of a number.
I left if one birthday har a candle or whatever.
What I must change.

' Geburtstagsanzeige
    Dim Bild_Geburtstag As Bitmap
    Bild_Geburtstag.Initialize(File.DirAssets, "geburtstag.png")
  
    If day &"." & month = Geburtstag Then
    cvs.DrawText(day, (((dayOfWeekOffset + day - 1) Mod 7) + 0.5) * boxW, _
    (row + 0.5)* boxH + vCorrection, Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD, Label1.TextSize, Colors.Black, "CENTER")
    End If
' Geburtstagsanzeige

 

[Wolli013]

So it works

Private Sub DrawDays

' Geburtstagsanzeige
If day & "." & month = Geburtstag Then
DrawGeburtstag(cvs, selectedColor, (dayOfWeekOffset + day - 1) Mod 7, (dayOfWeekOffset + day - 1) / 7)
End If
' Geburtstagsanzeige

End Sub

Private Sub DrawGeburtstag(c As Canvas, clr As Int, x As Int, y As Int)

Dim Bitmap1 As Bitmap
Bitmap1.Initialize(File.DirAssets, "geburtstag.png")
Dim r As Rect
r.Initialize(x * boxW, y * boxH, (x + 1) * boxW, (y + 1) * boxH)
cvs.DrawBitmap(Bitmap1, Null, r)

End Sub
