Answer 1

Create a layout consisting of a DatePicker and a TimePicker in fx a LinearLayout with the orientation set to vertical.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout1" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <DatePicker android:id="@+id/datePicker1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></DatePicker>
        <TimePicker android:id="@+id/timePicker1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></TimePicker>
    </LinearLayout>

Then use this layout to create your dialog.

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(mContext);

dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_dialog);
dialog.setTitle("Custom Dialog");

To react to user interacting with your timepicker, do something like this:

TimePicker tp = (TimePicker)dialog.findViewById(R.id.timepicker1);
tp.setOnTimeChangedListener(myOnTimechangedListener);

To get the values from the date- and timepicker when the user has finished setting them, add an OK button in your dialog, and then read the date and time values from the Date- and TimePicker when the user presses OK.
