Android's new DatePicker widget shows a large date text at the top, but I really don't need it. It's wasting a lot of space. Is there a way to hide that, and show only the calendar below.
Just use CalendarView, which does not show the header and has all the same methods.

I'm trying to build a custom datepicker dialog. I used CalendarView instead of DatePicker since I didn't want the header used in DatePicker. This is how it looks now.
And this is what I want to achieve.
The future and previous dates should be visible. If clicked on future month's date, calendar should scroll to next month.
I couldn't find any properties/functions in CalendarView class to achieve this. Is there any other way to achieve this? Is there any 3rd party open-source library that does this?
With the new Datepicker widget, it shows a header with a large amount of wasted space.
Is it possible to only show the calendar part without the header?
You can just use the CalendarView, which does not show the header.
I created a view that has CalendarView added programatically.
Code:
CalendarView calendarView = new CalendarView(context);
calendarView.setDate(new Date().getTime());
cardInner.addView(calendarView);

The current set up is the one on the screenshot. I was wondering if there is a way to make it look this way?

This is not possible using the CalendarView widget from AOSP. See https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/CalendarView.html
It is however possible to prevent the user from picking any date other than a date inside a certain week. You can achieve this by using the setMinDate and setMaxDate methods: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/CalendarView.html#setMaxDate(long)
A third option would be extending the CalendarView widget and altering the onDraw method to only draw one row.
Also, try and search around on google. There might be a 3rd party library that can already do this.
I have to program in Android a calendar that shows a month, that I can slide horizontally to show other months. I tried with the calendarview but it's an infinite scrollable calendar, I need to show a month at once.
One more thing: how can I change the color and the style of a single day in the calendar? For example, to show in which days there are events and in which not.
Thank you very much in advance!
I am having some UI problems with the DatePicker. Setting dates in my app relies on the day of the week, which the DatePicker lacks without the calendar, so I am using the calendar so the user can see the day of the week. The only problem is, it displays them side to side like this:
Which makes the calendar appear very cramped, especially because this is on a mobile device, so the numbers are very small. Is there a way to make the orientation change, where the slider is on the top and the calendar is on the bottom? The calendar looks much better when it doesn't have the slider next to it as it is bigger, but I need both the slider and calendar.
