Question

I have a problem about datepicker feature.

How to save the value of datepicker to sqlite database?

Assume I create a button to set the date and a button to save to database…

main.java

public class main extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

private Calendar dateTime=Calendar.getInstance();
      private SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM dd, yyyy");

 @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.addshoppinglist);

        mSaveBttn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.saveBttn);
        mSetDateBttn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.shoppingDate);
        mCancelBttn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.cancelBttn);
        mSaveBttn.setOnClickListener(this);

        mSetDateBttn.setOnClickListener(this);
        mCancelBttn.setOnClickListener(this);
        helper = new ProductDatabaseHelper(this);
        model = helper.getAll();
    }
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        switch (v.getId()) {
        case R.id.saveBttn:


            break;

        case R.id.cancelBttn:
            Intent mainIntent = (new Intent(AddShoppingList.this, main.class));
            startActivity(mainIntent);

            break;

        case R.id.shoppingDate:
            showDialog(DIALOG_DATE);

        }
    }
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id){
        switch(id){
        case DIALOG_DATE:
            return new DatePickerDialog(this,new OnDateSetListener(){


                public  void onDateSet(DatePicker view,int year,int monthOfYear,int dayOfMonth){
                    dateTime.set(year,monthOfYear,dayOfMonth);

                    mSetDateBttn.setText(dateFormatter
                            .format(dateTime.getTime()));

                }
            } ,dateTime.get(Calendar.YEAR),
              dateTime.get(Calendar.MONTH),
              dateTime.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));



        }

}

Does anyone know how to save the date format to database?

You can achive this in the following manner.

public  void onDateSet(DatePicker view,int year,int monthOfYear,int dayOfMonth){
                dateTime.set(year,monthOfYear,dayOfMonth);

           int year = year;   // Here you can get day,month and year.
       int month = monthOfYear;
       int day = dayOfMonth;

    ContentValues values = new ContentValues()

    values.put("Day",dayOfMonth);
    values.put("Month",monthOfYear);
    values.put("Year",year);

    }

Now use your database helper class to insert values in it.For using database read this post.
