Solved. I had to add the module to my project. Project->Add Existing Module

In the Designer click on AddView / CustomView.



You should see AnotherDatePicker.

Don't forget to copy also the DatePicker.bal file to the projects Files folder.
This is for the AnotherDatePicker Class.

A better solution would be to use the B4X library: AnotherDatePicker.b4xlib
Copy the AnotherDatePicker.b4xlib file to AdditionalLibraries folder of B4A.
No need to care about the DatePicker.bal file, it is included in the AnotherDatePicker.b4xlib file.
Then you should see AnotherDatePicker in the Libraries Manager Tab:


If you still have the AnotherDatePicker Class module in your project, you must remove it!

Thanks Klaus,

Having come from a PHP background I'm finding it a bit frustrating knowing what I want to achieve but struggling to use B4A IDE etc.

Klaus,

I followed your guidance, added the library and removed the AnotherDatePicker.bas file. Now in the designer the Add view->Custom View only shows 'Custom List View'

Thanks
Malcolm

I suspect that you added the AnotherDatePicker library while the Designer was open.
Therefore close the Designer and reopen it.

Klaus,

Maybe this is a fault in the IDE or more likely the user! To start from scratch, I closed the Designer, removed the library reference from the IDE and closed the IDE.

Then

Open the IDE, add a tick on AnotherdatePicker library. Close the IDE. (just to be sure it saved the lib references). Opened the IDE, opened my Project, opened the designer ... No sign of the datepicker under AddView->Customview

Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?
What version of B4A do you have?
B4X libraries are supported in B4A 8.80+

I just tested creating a new project, checking AnotherDatePicker in the Lib Tab, opened the Designer, and think what? I see AnotherDatePicker.

Attached my test project.

Latest version is included in XUI Views library. It is implemented as a dialog template (not a custom view).
