Android Question [SOLVED] MaterialDateTimePicker is buggy when used with TalkBack

[rleiman]

Hi Everyone,

I love the MaterialDateTimePicker but it's buggy when TalkBack is turned on. When the time picker is called with TalkBack on, it speaks 16:30 for the initial time of 04:30 and doesn't allow the circle selector to be moved easily.

Is there an update to this library or another one that's compatible with TalkBack?

there is no update and i did not expect one to appear as i do not have the source anymore of this lib (HDD Crash last year)

Hi Don,

Is there a native Android time picker I can use if the user is using TalkBack? Maybe something like this default Samsung S8 time picker?

You can use TimeDialog from the Dialogs library. It is based on the native dialogs.

Thanks Erel,

I'll give it a try.

Hi Erel,

Is it the one from here?

I looked at the post but did not see a link to the library. Can you post it?

Thanks.

It is Dialogs library (already installed with b4a)

Sub Activity_Click
    Dim td As TimeDialog
    td.TimeTicks = DateTime.Now
    td.Is24Hours = True
    Dim sf As Object = td.ShowAsync("", "Select time", "Yes", "", "Cancel", Null, False)
    Wait For (sf) Dialog_Result(Result As Int)
    If Result = DialogResponse.POSITIVE Then
        Log(DateTime.Time(td.TimeTicks))
    End If
End Sub

Hi Don,

Thanks for the coding sample.

I looked at the library manager and did not find anything listed as Dialogs, TimeDialog or anything with time in it. Where can I download the library that contains TimeDialog?

It is the DIALOGS library
