I've integrated TimePicker in my application successfully. Now i would like to know is there a way to embed time picker in view instead of showing it as Dialog box. Thanks in advance.
I suggest you , it is good habit to use fragment.if you use the DialogFragment ,google provide using the dialog frament for time picker http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/controls/pickers.html#TimePicker
or
I found some link it can help you

Actually showing in a DialogFragment is considered best practice. Still if you want to create similar view in your layout then I guess your best bet would be using wheel-view to achieve this.
Here is a library for it: https://code.google.com/p/android-wheel/ and its other implementation: https://github.com/ai212983/android-spinnerwheel
In case you want to stick with DialogFragment(recommended), here is a tutorial: http://androidician.wordpress.com/2014/09/20/android-date-picker-and-time-picker-example/

I am trying to make similar layout to this one.
I achieved everything except that pop up window (saying "Perfect"). How to make this? Will pop up windows? Dialog or somehow else?
The screenshoted layout look like a WebView to me. Thus you could try to take all advantage of the WebView to create any html-based layout.
The pop-up could also be a custom dialog, or just a div on top the main layout or whatever. For example, check this.
There are 2 ways you can approach this.
If you want a view above another one you can use FramLayout. Tutorial here.
If you want it to be a dialog you can follow this tutorial Tutorial here
I need to embed the native month-wise calendar with my xml layout, which will also contain some other components inside the layout.. it should also show all the calendar events shown for the specific month. Since i am a beginner in android, any source or example will be very useful !!
Thanks in Advance
In your case I think you have to use Datepicker, just go throgth this example
Haha, funny how I am currently doing just this. There is no built in view to do this, and even fewer examples of any specific code. You will need to build one from scratch. Luckily, Android does come built in with a class to help with the calculations that would otherwise be very annoying:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/MonthDisplayHelper.html
What does this mean? Well you need to use your own code to build it out. If you have Java experience, should not be too bad just playing around with the dates and whatnot and add them into a table or grid layout (Layouts you should probably go with). As soon as you get the hang of it, then you can get into more complex features.
Try using a grid view and fill according to month array with date-time picker you can get a specific date and time each cell click you can show a list which would help user to make reminder or add note specific to that selected date.
I've been tasked to implement an appointments app. The main screen is to display the days of the current month and which year it is and the user can perform various tasks by selecting a day and pressing one of 6 buttons.
I'm a little lost as for where to start on this. Should I create a view in XML or would it be better to do it in the code? I've read up on the calendar class but have had no luck actually getting an example working.
Any suggestions/examples on how to get started on this would be appreciated.
Thank you.
I know there is already an accepted answer, but this might be helpful.
Creating your views in xml also helps you seperate your functionality from your ui. Similar to the Model View Controller concept. This is considered good practice.
you'll write code to work with the layouts you create in XML
This screen was captured from Gmail app for android. The popup looks pretty cool with images and all. Any ideas on how this was made?
This is done with a custom dialog, it is actually quite easy to achieve. Just create a layout for a normal Activity and pass it to the Dialog builder.
For more information, check http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#CustomDialog out
Is a DialogBox considered a View in Android? I want to add one to a FrameLayout, but I'm not sure if I can? Is it possible?
Unless there's something I'm missing, no, Dialog inherits directly from Object, and does not apply as a View. But I have to ask, why do you want to add Dialog into a FrameLayout in the first place?
You probably need to make a custom dialog for this matter a good help for that is the official android developer website
