MaterialDatePicker get selected dates

Question

I\'m calling a MaterialDatePicker like this in Android:

MaterialDatePicker.Builder> builder = MaterialDatePicker.Builder.dateRa         


        

Answer 1

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() {
        @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());
