Resizing/Scaling Down Android Widgets (DatePicker and TimePicker)

Question

I\'m not sure if this is possible, and I couldn\'t find a topic based on it, but if it\'s been answered before drop me a link and that will be that.

What I\'m looking to

Answer 1

It is a very bad hack, but it should work: Create a new view extending LinearLayout, overwrite method getChildStaticTransformation and setStaticTransformationsEnabled explicit to true.

In the method getChildStaticTransformation you can manipulate the tranformation parameter to scale down all the content of your extended LinearLayout.

And then add the DatePicker or something else as a child of this view.

EG:

 public class ZoomView
    extends LinearLayout
{

private float sf = 1f;

public ZoomView(final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs)
{
    super(context, attrs);
    setStaticTransformationsEnabled(true);
}

public ZoomView(final Context context)
{
    super(context);
    setStaticTransformationsEnabled(true);
}

public void setScaling(final float sf)
{
    this.sf = sf;
}

@Override
protected boolean getChildStaticTransformation(final View child, final Transformation t)
{
    t.clear();
    t.setTransformationType(Transformation.TYPE_MATRIX);
    final Matrix m = t.getMatrix();
    m.setScale(this.sf, this.sf);
    return true;
}

}
