Android DatePickerDialog Max Date visual bug

I'm experiencing a weird visual bug on new DatePickerDialog of Android widgets. I need to set a dialog's selectable date range as 1 month but it shouldn't also select a date from the future. Logic works as expected but the visuals have some sort of bug. Here is how it looks:
Note that the "5" is disabled, I cannot select it. However, it looks as selectable. What should I do to solve this issue? Any help is appreciated, thanks. (Today's day of month is also 5, I assume this bug comes from there.)
Edit: This is how I create the dialog.
#SuppressLint("ValidFragment")
public static class DateDialog extends DialogFragment implements DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener
{
private static final long MONTH = 2592000000L;
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
// Use previous selected date in the date picker
final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTimeInMillis(DateUtils.getAtTimeTimestamp(startDate));
int year = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int day = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
DatePickerDialog dialog = new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), R.style.AppTheme_DialogTheme, this, year, month, day);
Date date = new Date(); // get current time
// get target maximum date which can be 1 month above
long targetDateTime = DateUtils.getAtTimeTimestamp(startDate) + MONTH;
if (date.getTime() < targetDateTime)
dialog.getDatePicker().setMaxDate(date.getTime()); // now because it can't be future
else
dialog.getDatePicker().setMaxDate(targetDateTime); // should also be one month above from the start date.
dialog.getDatePicker().setMinDate(DateUtils.getAtTimeTimestamp(startDate));
return dialog;
}
#Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker datePicker, int i, int i1, int i2)
{
// logic between date selections
}
}
DateUtils.getAtTimeTimestamp(String date) basically converts a string to long integer that is time in milliseconds.

Android: Disabling/removing date from DatePicker dialog

One of my features require the user to select a month and year, so the following is the method which will pop up the first attached image (d/m/y).
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);
DatePickerDialog dp = new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Light_Dialog_MinWidth,
new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
#Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
//Check if selected month/year is in future of today.
}
}, year, month, day);
dp.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));
dp.setTitle("Set Monthly Overview");
dp.show();
However, i do NOT require the date. How can i disable user from selecting it, or best of all, to even not display the date option there?
What I wish to achieve is something like the following image in the best case scenario.

Refer "Android DatePicker change to only Month and Year" which will help you just display month and year in the datepicker. Hope this helps.

Trying to return a date from android date picker

Over the past 24 hours I have been trying to find articles about my issue but am still confused. If I have missed a place where this question was previously answered I apologize but I hope that you all will still help me understand what I am missing.
Synopsis: I want to populate a few text boxes with a date picker and am having trouble understanding how to return the selected date so that I can populate the appropriate textbox.
Basically I'm trying to implement a standard date picker targeting android devices >= 4.0.
public static 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);
}
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int day) {
// Do something with the date chosen by the user
}
}
public void showDatePickerDialog(View v) {
DialogFragment newFragment = new DatePickerFragment();
newFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "datePicker");
}
You will notice that this is the code from the android documentation example that can be found here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/controls/pickers.html
I am implementing this code in a larger project and the date picker comes up fine, the date is picked fine etc.
What I am having trouble with is getting the date after the user selects it. Basically the user selects the date and then nothing happens. What I want to do is populate a specific text box with the date after selection. This will happen in a few text boxes so I can't just hard code it into the onDateSet function.
My thought was to pass the textBox's id with the creation of the datepicker but I am not completely sure how I would do that.
This is my first android project and focused on comprehension and not simply getting a working project, thanks.

The "onDateSet" method should be called when the user selects a date.
In this method, you can use the year, month and day passed in parameter.

I don't known if that is the best way to do it, but I solve it this way:
I have two buttons, A and B.
When i click button A, a DatePicker appears and the user selects the date.
After confirm the date, the text in Button A is set to that date that was selected.
Same behavior for button B.
That is the function when button A or B is pressed:
public void selectDateButtons(View view){
if(view.getId() == R.id.buttonA)
{
clickedButton = R.id.buttonA;
}else{
clickedButton = R.id.buttonB;
}
DialogFragment newFragment = new DatePickerFragment();
newFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "datePicker");
}
clickedButton is a Static global variable.
Then declare the sub-class
public static 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);
return new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, year, month, day);
}
#Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int day) {
if(clickedButton == R.id.ButtonA)
{
ButtonA.setText(String.valueOf(day) + "/"
+ String.valueOf(month + 1) + "/" + String.valueOf(year));
} else {
ButtonB.setText(String.valueOf(day) + "/"
+ String.valueOf(month + 1) + "/" + String.valueOf(year));
}
}
}
Don't forget, your main activity should extends FragmentActivity.
Hope that works for you too!
Best regards!

DatePicker date set in android

I need a date-picker dialog in my application. First, I open the date picker dialog box and I select the date. The next time whenever open Date pickerDialog, the date of date picker should be current date of device. However, it shows last selected date in dialog. Please help me to set the code. Here is my code as I have it now:
#Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id)
{
switch (id)
{
case DATE_DIALOG_ID:
Date d=new Date();
Calendar c=Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTimeZone(tz);
c.setTime(d);
d=c.getTime();
int year = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int date = c.get(Calendar.DATE);
DatePickerDialog datePicker
= new DatePickerDialog(this, datePickerListener, year, month, date);
return datePicker;
}
return super.onCreateDialog(id);
}
private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener datePickerListener
= new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener()
{
// when dialog box is closed, below method will be called.
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int selectedYear, int selectedMonth, int selectedDay)
{
cors_year = selectedYear;
cors_month = selectedMonth;
cors_date = selectedDay;
getDate("calledfromDialog");
displaySunTime();
displayChoghadiya("Day");
displayTime(3, 1);
dayButtonClicked();
selected_DAY_NIGHT="Day";
}
};

Note that onCreateDialog was deprecated in v13, per the documentation:
Use the new DialogFragment class with FragmentManager instead; this is also available on older platforms through the Android compatibility package.
Which you would use along with this tutorial
However, if you want to stay with the DatePickerDialog, you can use code such as:
protected void onPrepareDialog (int id, Dialog dialog)
{
DatePickerDialog datePickerDialog = (DatePickerDialog) dialog;
// Get the current date
datePickerDialog.updateDate(year, month, day);
}
This is because Android only calls onCreateDialog once per dialog to re-use the dialog. onPrepareDialog is called in order for you to set the state of the Dialog appropriately before it is shown.

Date Picker alert Dialog

When i am running my code in android 3.2 and android 4.0.3, it shows different date pickers..i want date picker as a wheeler like 1st image..i know 2.3.3 shows old pickers..But i don't know why i am getting older one in 4.0.3 which is giving new in 3.2. It happened same with Number Picker also.
here is my code:
private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mDateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear,
int dayOfMonth) {
mYear = year;
mMonth = monthOfYear;
mDay = dayOfMonth;
if (picker == 1) {
final long lDate = mDay;
dateStart.set(Calendar.YEAR, mYear);
dateStart.set(Calendar.MONTH, mMonth);
dateStart.set(Calendar.DATE, mDay);
Log.d("startdate", "" + dateStart);
if (lDate != -1) {
UpdateStartDateTimeView();
return;
}
}
updateDisplay();
}
};

If you use the native picker, automatically Android will choose the corresponding to the current version. You can only ensure that a unique dialog is presented regardless Android version by creating a custom Dialog. Thus, you need to see if the unique picker worths the effort of designing a custom one..

The DatePickerDialog is having a constructor which accepts a theme
DatePickerDialog(Context context, int theme, DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener callBack, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth)
Just update ur code with
for light holo theme
DatePickerDialog datePickerDialog = new DatePickerDialog(this,
android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Light_Dialog_NoActionBar,
new DateListener(v), mTime.year, mTime.month, mTime.monthDay);
or
for dark holo theme
DatePickerDialog datePickerDialog = new DatePickerDialog(this,
android.R.style.Theme_Holo__Dialog_NoActionBar,
new DateListener(v), mTime.year, mTime.month, mTime.monthDay);

If I understand you right, you're getting an old dialog style in Andoid version above 4. I had this problem when I set STYLE_NO_FRAME for dialog fragment. In this case date picker has always old design, and I don't know why it is so. If you want to get always modern UI, be sure you set STYLE_NORMAL to your dialog fragment. For do this you need to add following line in OnCreate callback method of the dialog fragment.
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setStyle(DialogFragment.STYLE_NORMAL, 0);
}
