Question

Running into an issue with Datepicker – not sure if I misunderstanding how it should be used. In the graphic layout editor I added a Datepicker and I added that layout to my activity. When I run the application the month and day show up fine but instead of a year I see a calendar and I’m not sure why. Any ideas?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <DatePicker
        android:id="@+id/datePicker1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</LinearLayout>



public class BirthdayActivity extends Activity {    
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_birthday);
    }

}

Answer 1

By default its shown. You can set it to false with this:

setCalendarViewShown(boolean shown)

First line of docs :

This class is a widget for selecting a date. The date can be selected
by a year, month, and day spinners or a CalendarView.
