TimePickerDialog doesn't show properly in Android 6 - android

i'm using DatePickerDialog to select time on my app. When I run my app on a device with Android 5 as OS the dialog shows properly, meanwhile if i run my app on a device with Android 6 this is what the dialog looks like:
Could someone help me?

I solved the issue changing the way that the TimePickerDialog was being created.
I had this code :
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
return new TimePickerDialog(getContext(), myTimeListener, c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY), c.get(Calendar.MINUTE), true);
I changed the 2nd line for this one:
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
return new TimePickerDialog(getContext(), R.style.AppTheme, myTimeListener, c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY), c.get(Calendar.MINUTE), true);

Android - DatePickerDialog - Old APIs

I am trying to create a DatePickerDialog in my app in Android but when I create a DatePickerDialog I receive the following message: Call requires API level 24 (current min is 14): android.app.DatePickerDialog#DatePickerDialog
How can I use a DatePickerDialog in old API versions?
Use one of the constructors added in API level 1, not one of those added in API level 24.
Here is an example that works from API level 1:
val cal = Calendar.getInstance() // used for initializing the date picker
val datePickerDialog = DatePickerDialog(requireContext(), DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener { datePicker, y, m, d ->
// get user's selected y, m and d here
},
cal.get(Calendar.YEAR),
cal.get(Calendar.MONTH),
cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)
)
datePickerDialog.show()

Calendar returning birmanian numbers

something strange happened. I'm using Calendar to name the audiofiles I'm recording. Everything was working ok until today. The next code is giving me the date in birmanian, I don't know why.
The code is simple:
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
SimpleDateFormat format1 = new SimpleDateFormat("HH;mm;ss[,[dd-MM-yyyy");
String formatted = format1.format(cal.getTime());
(I'm using all the "; , [ and more strange characters to create the file after, it is not the cause of the problem it worked well few days ago)
what I'm getting is:
formatted = ၁၃;၅၃;၂၅[,[၃၁-၀၅-၂၀၁၆
Any help?
Thanks for your time!

How to set day of weeks for email reminder of Google Calendar Event object by java code?

I want to set repeat email notification in Google calendar API v3. I create nofication:
EventReminder reminder = new EventReminder();
reminder.setMinutes(5);
reminder.setMethod("email");
Event.Reminders eRem = new Event.Reminders();
List<EventReminder> reminders = new ArrayList<>();
reminders.add(reminder);
eRem.setOverrides(reminders);
eRem.setUseDefault(false);
event.setReminders(eRem);
It`s work fine, but I cant find solution to set repeat days for this notification. Have any idea?
The API only offers the EventReminder.setMinutes() method, but you could use TimeUnit to convert your number of days in minutes like so:
// Reminder in 2 days
reminder.setMinutes(TimeUnit.MINUTES.convert(2, TimeUnit.DAYS));

Java/Android Calendar, add 1 week on Sundays

OK, so my code has worked good until the day became Sunday.
I'm working on an app that uses the Calendar util allot, so it functioning the way i think it does is important to me! The problem:
import java.util.Calendar;
...
Calendar test = Calendar.getInstance();
test.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.MONDAY);
Log.e("WEEEK TEST:", ""+ test.get(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR));
test.add(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, 1);
Log.e("WEEEK TEST:", ""+ test.get(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR));
Outputs this:
06-01 14:04:07.636 12005-12005/test.app E/WEEEK TEST:﹕ 23
06-01 14:04:07.636 12005-12005/test.app E/WEEEK TEST:﹕ 23
How can this even happen, and how do i fix it?
Calendar test = Calendar.getInstance();
test.add(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, -1);
test.add(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, 1);
test.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.MONDAY);
Now "test" should work correctly

String.format doesn't give month and weeknames in German locale

I'm using following code in my app:
Calendar tmpCalendar = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.getDefault());
String itemTime = String.format(
Locale.getDefault(),
"%1$tA, %1$te. %1$tB %1$tY",
tmpCalendar);
German is the default language on my device, so I'd expect to get something like:
Dienstag, 7. Juni 2011
Instead I'm getting:
3, 7. 6 2011
If I use Locale.US instead of Locale.getDefault() everything works fine. Am I doing something wrong?
Oddly, it works in an emulator running Android 2.2 in German, but not on a HTC Desire, also running 2.2. Why?
It seems to be a bug of some vendors and is issue #9453 in the Android issue tracker.
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EE/MM/yyyy");
Date date = new Date();
String sDate= sdf.format(date);

It does exactly what you ask it to do. If you want to have fine-grain control over the process, you can always use SimpleDateFormat. However, I would rather recommend this method:
Calendar tmpCalendar = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.getDefault());
DateFormat formatter = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG, Locale.getDefault());
formatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault());
String itemTime = formatter.format(tmpCalendar.getTime());
Also, I would recommend using DateFormat.DEFAULT but you expect long date format, so...
