How to calculate number of days between two datepicker in android and display in the edit text

Closed 2 years ago.
I have been trying to find the difference between two dates from date picker. My app is getting crashed for null point object exception.
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'long java.util.Date.getTime()' on a null object reference

By putting String in front of dateto, you've made it a declaration of a local variable rather than a reference to the instance variable (that you're trying to access later). So it will forever be null. Change:
String dateto = month + "/" + dayOfMonth + "/" + year;
to
dateto = new Date(month, dayOfMonth, year); // no "String"
However, the Date constructor is deprecated and using Date is strongly discouraged, so you should really use something like:
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.ZoneOffset;
//...
Instant dateto;
//...
LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.of(month, dayOfMonth, year);
dateto = localDate.atStartOfDay(ZoneOffset.UTC).toInstant();

Never mind, I figured out the answer using joda library
I have made it with different UI, joda library dependancy is included in build.gradle. It worked perfect.

How to set a minimum date for an EditText field?

I'm trying to set a minimum date (which is supposed to be the current date) so that the user won't be able to select a date older than today. I'm working in a fragment as you can see. I already searched for help but either it wasn't clear to me since i'm just starting with coding or i just failed to use it. Here is what i coded until now but i can't go further.
public class DatePickerFragment extends DialogFragment
implements DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener {
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Use the current date as the default date in the picker
final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
int year = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int day = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
// Create a new instance of DatePickerDialog and return it
return new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, year, month, day);
}
#Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker datePicker, int year, int month, int day) {
Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(year, month, day);
setDate(cal);
}
protected void setDate(final Calendar calendar) {
final DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
((TextView) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.datenaissance)).setText(dateFormat.format(calendar.getTime()));
}
}
Here is the second fragment i'm working with:
package cm.opep.opep.fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Spinner;
import android.widget.Toast;
import cm.opep.opep.R;
public class RegistrationFragment extends Fragment {
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup container, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_registration, container, false);
initUI(v);
return v;
}
private void initUI(View v){
//Lancement de la date de naissance
EditText datenaissance = (EditText) v.findViewById(R.id.datenaissance);
datenaissance.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
DatePickerFragment fragment = new DatePickerFragment();
fragment.show(getFragmentManager(), "datePicker");
}
});
}
}
Here's the XML code:
<LinearLayout xmlns
android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:ignore="UselessParent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/datenaissance"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/date_de_naissance"
android:inputType="date"
android:textColor="#color/colorPrimaryDark"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:onClick="datePicker"
android:focusable="False"
android:layout_marginStart="40dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="40dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="40dp"
android:layout_marginRight="40dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

All you need to do is create an instance of DatePickerDialog and using the 'set min date()' function.
public class DatePickerFragment extends DialogFragment
implements DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener {
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Use the current date as the default date in the picker
final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
int year = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int day = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
// Create a new instance of DatePickerDialog and return it
DatePickerDialog dialog = new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, year, month, day);
// Here you can set the minimum date on date picker ********
dialog.getDatePicker().setMinDate(new Date().getTime());
return dialog;
}
#Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker datePicker, int year, int month, int day) {
Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(year, month, day);
setDate(cal);
}
protected void setDate(final Calendar calendar) {
final DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
((TextView) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.datenaissance)).setText(dateFormat.format(calendar.getTime()));
}
}
or you can use this class:
public class StartDatePicker extends DialogFragment implements DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener {
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
int startYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int startMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int startDay = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
SharedPreferences objSharedPreferences;
SharedPreferences.Editor objEditor;
private Activity activity;
private View component;
public StartDatePicker(Activity activity, View component) {
this.activity = activity;
this.component = component;
createSharedPreferences();
}
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
// Use the current date as the default date in the picker
DatePickerDialog dialog = new DatePickerDialog(activity, this, startYear, startMonth, startDay);
// dialog.getDatePicker().setMaxDate(new Date().getTime());
// dialog.getDatePicker().setMinDate(new Date().getTime());
return dialog;
}
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
try {
startDay = dayOfMonth;
startMonth = monthOfYear + 1;
startYear = year;
String dateToBeSet = startDay + "-" + getMonth(startMonth) + "-" + startYear;
if (component instanceof EditText) {
((EditText) component).setText(dateToBeSet);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public String getMonth(int month) {
return new DateFormatSymbols().getMonths()[month - 1].substring(0, 3);
}
}
On editText click use this code :
DialogFragment dialogFragment = new StartDatePicker(this, fromDateEditText);
dialogFragment.show(getFragmentManager(), "start_date_picker");

}
When the app is running, I go to the settings and change the Timezone to such a value so that the current date will change. Now when we select any date in the dialog, it behaves abnormally and goes to other date. I have used setMinDate() and setMaxDate() methods. This happens only in Android OS 5.1.
Any idea or help? Thanks in advance.

Android datepicker disable all dates prior to 1st dec 2014

i have successfully implemented datepicker in android my problem is i want to disable all dates in datepicker prior to 1 st dec 2014 how can that be done ,i tried looking for examples but they all provide examples to disable date prior to todays date

}
// searchText.setText(formattedDayOfMonth + "/" + formattedMonth + "/" + year);

}

}
/** Create a new dialog for date picker */
#Override

switch (id) {
case DATE_DIALOG_ID:
return new DatePickerDialog(this,
pDateSetListener,
pYear, pMonth, pDay);
}
return null;
}
}

set Max date like this :
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
switch (id) {
case DATE_DIALOG_ID:
DatePickerDialog dialog = new DatePickerDialog(mContext,
datePickerListener, myCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR),
myCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH), myCalendar
.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
dialog.getDatePicker().setMaxDate(new Date().getTime());
dialog.show();
}
return null;
}

done it might be helpful for someone can play with the if conditions accordingly

How to set the date from DatePicker dialog for multiple calls

Good day, can't seem to find a solution for this. i have 2 buttons that when pressed, opens a datepickerdialog, but my problem now is , how can i set them to the appropriate button on OnDateSet method. I am using a DialogFragment for the date and then implementing the DateListener in my activity. I have tried using getTag() but no success in getting the tag. here is what i tried:
public void showfromDatePickerDialog(View v) {
DialogFragment dateFragment = new DateDialogFragment();
dateFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "fromdatePicker");
}
public void showtoDatePickerDialog(View v) {
DialogFragment dateFragment = new DateDialogFragment();
dateFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "todatePicker");
}
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int day) {
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
builder.append(day).append("-")
.append(month).append("-")
.append(year);
String text= builder.toString();
if(view.getTag().toString().equals("fromdatePicker")) { // error here
Log.d(TAG, "got here" + text);
fromdate.setText(text);
}
if(view.getTag() == "todatePicker") {
todate.setText(text);
}
any ideas how to implement this? i keep seeing solutions about using 2 different DialogFragment class but am guessing there should be another way. or am i wrong? Thank you

ok, i have a work around for these. which can be helpful for anyone with this problem. if its slightly incorrect please let me know and i can change it. but this is what i did to solve this issue.
in on DateSet:
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int day) {
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
builder.append(day).append("-")
.append(month).append("-")
.append(year);
String text= builder.toString();
FragmentManager fragmanager = getSupportFragmentManager();
if(fragmanager.findFragmentByTag("fromdatePicker") != null) {
Log.d(TAG, "got here" + text);
fromdate.setText(text);
}
// if(view.getTag() == "todatePicker") {
if(fragmanager.findFragmentByTag("todatePicker") != null) {
todate.setText(text);
}
that way you can use the same dateListener for multiple calls and set the date appropriately based on the tag that was passed when calling show on the dialog.

Use below code of DatePicker Dialog.
private int mYear;
private int mMonth;
private int mDay;
Calendar cal4DatePicker = Calendar.getInstance();
Button btnDOB=findviewbyId(R.id.btndob);
private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mDateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear,
int dayOfMonth) {
mYear = year;
mMonth = monthOfYear;
mDay = dayOfMonth;
cal4DatePicker.set(Calendar.YEAR, mYear);
cal4DatePicker.set(Calendar.MONTH, mMonth);
cal4DatePicker.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, mDay);
btnDOB.setText(new StringBuilder()
.append(mDay).append("-").append(mMonth).append("-").append(mYear).append(" "));
}
};
on btnDOB you need to set click listner to show this DatePicker Dialog.

I have try same thing with Time Picker only. You can try out and set same for date picker also.
