MaterialDatePicker get selected dates
Just use the addOnPositiveButtonClickListener
listener called when the user confirms a valid selection:
For a single date picker:
picker.addOnPositiveButtonClickListener(new MaterialPickerOnPositiveButtonClickListener<Long>() {
@Override public void onPositiveButtonClick(Long selection) {
// Do something...
//Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
//calendar.setTimeInMillis(selection);
}
});
For a range date picker:
MaterialDatePicker<Pair<Long, Long>> pickerRange = builderRange.build();
pickerRange.show(....);
pickerRange.addOnPositiveButtonClickListener(new MaterialPickerOnPositiveButtonClickListener<Pair<Long, Long>>() {
@Override public void onPositiveButtonClick(Pair<Long,Long> selection) {
Long startDate = selection.first;
Long endDate = selection.second;
//Do something...
}
});
For those that struggle with this and the fact that their timestamp is off a day, here is my working solution. I have a requirement of API 23 so I could not use any of the nice Epoch functions in java.time.*. The key for me was realizing I need to do the timezone offset math.
picker.addOnPositiveButtonClickListener(new MaterialPickerOnPositiveButtonClickListener<Long>() {
@Override
public void onPositiveButtonClick(Long selectedDate) {
// user has selected a date
// format the date and set the text of the input box to be the selected date
// right now this format is hard-coded, this will change
;
// Get the offset from our timezone and UTC.
TimeZone timeZoneUTC = TimeZone.getDefault();
// It will be negative, so that's the -1
int offsetFromUTC = timeZoneUTC.getOffset(new Date().getTime()) * -1;
// Create a date format, then a date object with our offset
SimpleDateFormat simpleFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy", Locale.US);
Date date = new Date(selectedDate + offsetFromUTC);
dataEntry.setText(simpleFormat.format(lDate));
}
});
picker.show(myActivity.getSupportFragmentManager(), picker.toString());
The answer of GR Envoy is good, but I want to change a bit. It would be better to set time zone to UTC.
private val outputDateFormat = SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy", Locale.getDefault()).apply {
timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC")
}
...
picker.addOnPositiveButtonClickListener {
val text = outputDateFormat.format(it)
}
