DialogFragments modeled after the AOSP Clock and Calendar apps to improve UX for picking time, date, numbers, and other things.

Try out the sample application on Google Play.

Including in Your Project

Gradle

compile 'com.code-troopers.betterpickers:library:2.2.2'

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.code-troopers.betterpickers</groupId>
  <artifactId>library</artifactId>
  <version>2.2.2</version>
  <type>aar</type>
</dependency>

Usage

For a working implementation of this project see the sample/ folder.

1. Implement the appropriate Handler callbacks:

public class MyActivity extends Activity implements 
  DatePickerDialogFragment.DatePickerDialogHandler {

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // ...
  }
  
  @Override
  public void onDialogDateSet(int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
    // Do something with your date!
  }
}

2. Use one of the Builder classes to create a PickerDialog with a theme:

DatePickerBuilder dpb = new DatePickerBuilder()
    .setFragmentManager(getSupportFragmentManager())
    .setStyleResId(R.style.BetterPickersDialogFragment);
dpb.show();

Theming

For a demonstration of theming, see the sample/ folder.

You can use your own themes if you'd like to change certain attributes. BetterPickers currently allows for customization of the following attributes:

    bpDialogBackground       :: the drawable (preferably a 9-patch) used as a window background for the DialogFragment
    bpTextColor              :: the color (optionally state list) for all text in the DialogFragment
    bpDeleteIcon             :: the drawable (optionally state list) for the delete button
    bpCheckIcon              :: the drawable (optionally state list) for the check button in the DateDialogPicker
    bpKeyBackground          :: the drawable (optionally state list) for the keyboard buttons
    bpButtonBackground       :: the drawable (optionally state list) for the Set, Cancel, and Delete buttons
    bpDividerColor           :: the color used for the DialogFragment dividers
    bpKeyboardIndicatorColor :: the color used for the ViewPagerIndicator on the DateDialogPicker

1. Create your own custom theme in styles.xml:

<style name="MyCustomBetterPickerTheme">
    <item name="bpDialogBackground">@drawable/custom_dialog_background</item>
    <item name="bpTextColor">@color/custom_text_color</item>
    <item name="bpDeleteIcon">@drawable/ic_backspace_custom</item>
    <item name="bpCheckIcon">@drawable/ic_check_custom</item>
    <item name="bpKeyBackground">@drawable/key_background_custom</item>
    <item name="bpButtonBackground">@drawable/button_background_custom</item>
    <item name="bpDividerColor">@color/custom_divider_color</item>
    <item name="bpKeyboardIndicatorColor">@color/custom_keyboard_indicator_color</item>
</style>

2. Instantiate your DialogFragment using your custom theme:

DatePickerBuilder dpb = new DatePickerBuilder()
    .setFragmentManager(getSupportFragmentManager())
    .setStyleResId(R.style.MyCustomBetterPickerTheme);
dpb.show();

Actionbarsherlock compatibility
