based on the codes above it uses the browser's back/forward buttons to change day.
which of the codes make it do that? I can't figure out why.
and any advice how can I make the event that can't be edited out?
planning it to launch on a mobile application using phonegap
You should have a look at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/API/DOM/Manipulating_the_browser_history. There you have a great starting point to become familiar with the history object.
If you have a look at the calendar.js from the above example they are using the History API very often.

I have just begun using Flutter to create a mobile app.
The first thing I need the app to do is to take an Address/location as input from the user.
I would like to use a text input field that once you start typing it suggests locations based on the google place API.
Sadly there is no widget to enable this out of the box, but it shouldn't be so hard to do. Google's places API returns results based on any text input, so you can just keep sending keystrokes until the user sees (and selects) their desired location. I've got the API working already.
Now I'm struggling with how to build the front end experience.
I was hoping to have a drop-down text field, but I'm not finding anything similar in the widget library.
My next best idea was an input field with a DropdownButton class next to it. I want to make the DropdownButton invisible (0 width) but programmatically make it drop down once the user begins typing.
Sadly I don't see any way to control the visibility of the Dropdown List, so I'm not sure this will work.
Does anyone have any better ideas?
Image of what I have so far but obviously this is not optimal:
It's probably late for an answer but I'll still post this in case anyone else is still curious about this.
If you have the API wired up then what might prove useful is this third-party package.
It's called Flutter Typeahead.
It's a generic input with dropdowns and the data can come from any API and not just the Google Places API.
I've got an HTML5 INPUT (type="datetime-local") in a WebView, but when I select it, it shows a date-time field that looks like this:
But the same identical element in Chrome looks like this:
This is under Android 7.1, with Chrome v55 installed, so Chrome is being used the WebView component. So, both should show the same thing, right?
I need the latter picker to show up in the WebView, it is much more user friendly (to scroll you can just flick up and down rather than having to repeatedly press the plus or minute buttons.
How do I accomplish this?
Update: I have tried creating this natively using a DatePickerDialog and it does the same thing! I'm targeting minSdkVersion=22, targetSdkVersion=25 (although I have also tried minSdkVersion=25). How do I force Android to display the correct picker for my app?
Update 2: I downloaded a sample app using the native DatePickerDialog and it displays the dialog ok. I don't like the idea of having to try to find the difference between the two projects which is causing the behavioral difference as it could be anything and take an excessive amount of time to find.
Update 3: Using the answer provided by Oleg, I was able to reproduce the second picker using android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar. But if I use android:Theme.DeviceDefault.Light I can get a calendar view for input type="date". But the corresponding time picker in the Default theme (the round clock) does not show up for input type="time" and ``input type="datetime-local"` doesn't use the calendar view either.
As discussed in comments, you are likely missing the proper theme. Given that you have access to working app, please apply the same theme, it should solve it
I'm starting a project, which is a work out log on Android. I want the app to use a calender and when the user clicks on a the box of the date they want edited, they are able to add an exercise and how many reps and sets they completed. My question is do I have to create a calender from scratch or is there a way to use one built into Android?
I have used TimesSquare before. It should work really well for what you are trying to do.
Im currently trying to get my diploma in psychology and i want to write about different types of keyboards for smartphones. To research this area i need a tool that measures times. As Im new to Android programming, my friend is helping me, but we got stuck.
Here is what we need, and what we tried. Id really appreciate any help =)
We need a way to call a function before user input in IME begins and after user input in IME ends. (We need this only for timelogging, we dont need the actual input.)
We also need to call a function before user input for chosing autocorrection starts/ends.
We need to do this for all kinds of IMEs especially keyboards
like Swype, Swiftkey etc (though one of them working is enough)
We tried:
TextWatcher via addTextChangedListener
- seems to be unreliable to get the times beforeTextChanged/afterTextChanged is randomly called, even within a gesture
or multiple times within a gesture
subclassing EditText implementing OnTouchListener,
using onTouch()
- didnt seem to get called at all when using swype, so either we did it wrong or ime/swpye consumes those events,
also tried it with onKeyPreIme, wasnt called either
Ideal would be:
a way of catching the "touch" events before they are passed to the IME to log the current time via System.currentTimeMillis()
the same "after" the gesture ends i.e. when the finger is released from display
we dont need actual code, a link to the right command/documentation/widget would be sweet.

Not sure if this is much of an answer, but...
Is your plan to write this in an Android application that you can distribute and run on anybody's device?
Sounds like whatever you do on the EditText or your application may not be enough because the IME is a separate module in Android, so you would not be able to get any information about auto correct or prediction or things like that (different IME have different of such features). You would only be able to get the text entered (or removed) from the text entry.
The best I can think of is for you to develop your own IME, then you can log anything you like in there.
To go about that, I would suggest, you first checkout this article from Android Developer:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/text/creating-input-method.html
And then you can check out the source code for the default Latin IME there:
http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android-apps/4.0.1_r1/com/android/inputmethod/latin/LatinIME.java
Although this one has probably much more than you need and has (I think) some links into the Android framework itself, so you cannot really build it as a separate module the way it is now.
Hope that helps
I need to give a search box in my android app. As the user starts typing in the search text, I need to show him relevant suggestions. (As we see in the google-search widget on the home screen. If we see from the logs, com.android.quicksearchbox/.SearchActivity is started with android.search.action.GLOBAL_SEARCH intent and it searches in following: corpora:[web, apps, com.android.contacts/.activities.PeopleActivity]).
Only thing is I need the suggestions to be displayed from the web & my application DB.
Any idea how to implement this ? Do I need to implement my own SuggestionsProvider or can I directly use the native implementation? If so, how?
I think i figure it out myself.
Went through Searchable Dictionary code & QuickSearchBox code in android source.
Need two start 2 activities in a background thread. One will search for the search-term in my DB & other will search the same in Google. All the results will be seen in the suggestion list.
Google Suggest API provides suggestions as the user enters the text.
