Question

Here is my requirement :
I’am loading one html file on to a WebView. I have a button in html file to select the date. When i click on that button i want to open android date picker dialog. And after selecting the date, i want to display the selected date in html file. Can anyone guide me. please.
HTML :

 <input type="button" value="Select Date" onClick="openDatePickerDialog()" />
 <p id = "date">--</p>

Javascript :

 function openDatePickerDialog() {
   AndroidFunction.openDatePickerDialog();
 }

function callFromActivity(date) {
document.getElementById('date').innerHTML = date;
 }

My Activity :

  public class MainActivity extends Activity {
WebView myBrowser;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    myBrowser = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.mybrowser);

    final MyJavaScriptInterface myJavaScriptInterface = new MyJavaScriptInterface(this);
    myBrowser.addJavascriptInterface(myJavaScriptInterface, "AndroidFunction");

    myBrowser.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); 

    myBrowser.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/test.html");      



}

public class MyJavaScriptInterface 
{
    private int mYear;
    private int mMonth;
    private int mDay;
    static final int DATE_DIALOG_ID = 0;

    Context mContext;

    MyJavaScriptInterface(Context c)
    {
        mContext = c;
    }


    public void openDatePickerDialog()
    { 
        Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
        mYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
        mMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
        mDay = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

        //updateDisplay();

        showDialog(DATE_DIALOG_ID);
    }
    private void updateDisplay() {

        String date = new StringBuilder().append(mMonth + 1).append("-")
        .append(mDay).append("-")
        .append(mYear).append(" ").toString();

        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), date, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

        myBrowser.loadUrl("javascript:callFromActivity(\""+date+"\")");
    }


    private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mDateSetListener =
        new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {

        public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, 
                int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
            mYear = year;
            mMonth = monthOfYear;
            mDay = dayOfMonth;
            updateDisplay();
        }
    };


    protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
        switch (id) {
        case DATE_DIALOG_ID:
            return new DatePickerDialog(MainActivity.this,
                    mDateSetListener,
                    mYear, mMonth, mDay);
        }
        return null;
    }

}
 }

Problem : I’am not getting DatePicker Dialog When i click on button. Where i’am going wrong ? Is my approach correct ?

Answer 1

public void openDatePickerDialog()
{ 
    Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    mYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    mMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    mDay = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

    //updateDisplay();
    DatePickerDialog dp = new DatePickerDialog(this,
            mDateSetListener,
            mYear, mMonth, mDay);
    dp.show();
}

can you try this once.
