Question

I am implementing a DateTimePicker. I have reuse this repository.

The problem appears when I am trying to catch the events for the onTimeChanged() method when I change the minutes. If I use the buttons of + and – it’s fine, the event is fired and I can handle it here:

public void onTimeChanged(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int minute) {
    // Update the internal Calendar instance
    mCalendar.set(mCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR),
                  mCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH),
                  mCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH),
                  hourOfDay, minute);
}

Whereas when I click on the minutes and I change it using the keyboard the event doesn’t arise, as in the case of the hours, days, etc…

A more detail description of the problem is:

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Select the time picker
2. Touch on the numbers, so the keyboard appears
3. when I write an amout of minutes, the event doesn’t fire

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect to catch this event inside onTimeChanged(), but I cant.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Version 2. On Android Froyo.

The author of this code has told me there is a bug on Android. I think should be a work around to this problem, for example creating my own class extending from TimePicker and reimplementing the interface OnTimeChangedListener.

What is the best option to listen the timerPicker events?

Answer 1

DatePicker control must call clearFocus() in order to trigger
onFocusChanged() and that will fix the issue.
