I am currently trying to make a custom display for an Android app.
My settings deals with range settings and the user's current speed. I am planning to display the settings and the current speed in the below format:
However, as of current I cannot see how to implement this kind of custom display in an XML. The widgets I currently have don't support this.
In what way will I be able to implement this kind of custom display?

I want to make a section in my app to allow the user to specify a range of time. I'm trying to make the design to something like android timers at the moment, but I'm having trouble. Would I need to make a custom preference for the design, or would I need to use SharedPreferences in a Fragment?

Additional Question:I'm using a Crystal double range seekbar that is visible when I run the app, but it doesn't show when in Android XML design.
I am not getting your usecase here. As far my understand, you need a screen to ask the user to the enter the date range like date from & to. If so, my suggestion would have the different screen to get those values and storre those in a SQLite.
complete noob to android. Trying to make an app in which I am trying to use the presentation class to display the home screen on the secondary display .... in short I'm trying to make the secondary display the primary display... I've tried a few hack such as making an overlay screen but it somehow doesn't work ... is there any way to get reference to the display object of the home screen....so i can use that to display it on the secondary display... please help guys :D.
is there any way to get reference to the display object of the home screen
No. That is not your app.
The exception would be if you write your own home screen and integrate it into this Presentation app.
You are welcome to use the media projection APIs on Android 5.0+ to take screenshots of the primary display, to show in your Presentation. However, all that will do is accomplish the same display mirroring that is part of standard Android (and be slower as well).
I've been trying, with no success, even with google searching on the web and whatnot, to use the Android CalendarView and display on its visual cells icons or even text that represent events that my application wants to display to the user.
So, my question is : Has anyone been able to do this using the Android CalendarView present on the Android SDK?
