I’m trying to get a text box that looks like a spinner to activate a date picker dialog. This is done in both the Google Calendar app and the Contacts app (for birthdate) on ICS. Do I need to use a spinner, and if so how do I change it’s input view to be a date picker? Or if not, how do I get a text view to have the little triangle that usually indicates a spinner?
Twaddington’s comment on his answer is actually the right approach.
What you need is to create a text view and apply the style
Then you can create a click listener on the text view and use it to open a DatePickerDialog. That can be accomplished as shown here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8127571/332738
(If you follow the example, remember to add a default constructor to
DatePickerDialogFragmentso that your app does not crash on rotate)
