Question

In my application , I have to get date from the user.
First I use one button, when the user clicks the button a dialog box will appear which holds datepicker and get the result in one TextView.
Now I want to replace the button by EditView. On Clicking the EditView the dialog box will have to appear and no keyboards should appear.

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.report);
        EmployeeGlobal eg=(EmployeeGlobal)getApplicationContext();
        String uid=eg.getMainUserId();
        ArrayList<String>list=eg.getAllProjects(uid);
          Spinner spinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.all_projs);
          ArrayAdapter<String> spinnerArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, list);
          spinnerArrayAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
          spinner.setAdapter(spinnerArrayAdapter);
          Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Report"+uid, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
          mStartDateDisplay=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.strdate);
          mEndDateDisplay = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.enddate);
            mEndDate = (Button) findViewById(R.id.end_dateb);
            mStartDate=(Button)findViewById(R.id.start_dateb);
            mYear=c1.get(Calendar.YEAR);
            mMonth = c1.get(Calendar.MONTH);
            mDay = c1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
            mStartDate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                public void onClick(View v) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    showDialog(DATE_DIALOG_START);

                    //updateDisplay(mStartDateDisplay);
                }
            });
            mEndDate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                public void onClick(View v) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    showDialog(DATE_DIALOG_END);
                     //updateDisplay(mEndDateDisplay);
                }
            });


    }
    private void updateDisplay(TextView T) {
        T.setText(
            new StringBuilder()
                    // Month is 0 based so add 1
                    .append(mMonth + 1).append("-")
                    .append(mDay).append("-")
                    .append(mYear).append(" "));
    }
    private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mFromDateSetListener =
        new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {

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

            }
        };
        private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mToDateSetListener =
            new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {

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

                }
            };
        @Override
        protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
            switch (id) {
            case DATE_DIALOG_END:
                return new DatePickerDialog(this,mToDateSetListener, mYear, mMonth, mDay);
            case DATE_DIALOG_START:
                return new DatePickerDialog(this,mFromDateSetListener,mYear, mMonth, mDay);
            }
            return null;
        }

So please anyone help me?

Answer 1

I have done exactly same i am posting some code try it. It should work..

EditText time_text_1;
time_text_1.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

     @Override
     public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
       if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
          //CREATE YOUR DATE PICKER DIALOG HERE.
          }
     return false;
     }
    });

declare these properties in your xml file for edittext.

android:clickable="true"
android:cursorVisible="false"
android:editable="false"
android:inputType="none"
android:singleLine="true"

hope it will work.
