The basic DatePicker at the Android Developers site http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-datepicker.html appears to display in the format 4-26-2012. Can that formatting be changed to 04-26-2012? It appears to display M-d-yyyy but I need it to display MM-dd-yyyy so 01-01-2012 instead of 1-1-2012. Can the basic DatePicker be tweaked like this?
Hope so you where looking for this only.
To override the DatePicker format the best bet would be to override one of its constructors with a slight edit to the original code. You can edit the ViewGroup in code for you but I'd seriously consider not doing it that way.
Refer this Android: How to change the DatePicker view date format from MM/dd/yyyy to dd/MM/yyyy?
You know you can extract date, month, year, hour, minute and second and pad it and use it in any format you want. Just create a function. That's how I resolved the date issue when working on .NET web service, SQL Server and android.

I have implemented DatePicker and TimePicker in android.
Now, As we know that DatePicker prompts user to give input only for specific date, same as TimePicker prompts user to give input only for specific time. But, I require to make a single CustomView that handle to take date and time both as input from user.
How can I do this ?
Thanks in Advance.
DateTime Picker
Hope this helps...
There is a Project Sample Which has both Date And Time Picker Together.
You can find a DateTimePicker implementation here
Is there any other way to get custom date in android except that java date picker
It means that you're trying to parse a date that doesn't match the pattern you choose. You should have a look at the simple date documentation to see which pattern you need: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

I'm coding an android app about the egyptian history, and I want to add a DatePicker in a dialog, where I will show years, and whenever the user sets a year, it shows in the layout the events in that year . If he changes the year, the event changes ...etc
It is a historical app, and I don't know how to do it!
I need help.
According to the doc (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/DatePicker.html)
You can set min and max date according to the era you want to cover:
android:maxDate The minimal date shown by this calendar view in mm/dd/yyyy format.
android:minDate The minimal date shown by this calendar view in mm/dd/yyyy format.
And then use the onDateChangedListener to display the correct Layout.

As you want to use only a year, I would advise to use a NumberPickerDialog instead.
DatePicker is maybe "too much" for your use case.
I want to display a date picker for selecting date of birth,so as to user restricted to choose future date.currently date picker displays all dates including future also.i want to show the dates up to current dates only.
Thanks.
I recommend the Date Picker Dialog? Then just extend it to fit your requirements.
It's some what hard to explain how to create a Date Picker. What's better is looking at the sample code from the Android API Demos which shows you how to do a Date Picket and much more. You can figure out how to download these API Demos at: http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/get.html. Good luck!
Use the setMaxDate function, and set that to the current date
Datepicker dp = (DatePicker) v.findViewById(R.id.date_picker);
// Set it to only show past dates...
dp.setMaxDate(System.currentTimeMillis());

Hey,
I want to update the date to a year before 1970.
the updateDate function wants a date since 1970.
the widget itself allow you to select 1900-2100 (from what i read you can change it also using an xml to describe the control)
any solutions?
if not, what widget do you use to select date (e.g. birth date...)
Thanks.
Just use a negative number when you pass in the years.
