EditText onClickListener in Android

Question

I want an EditText which creates a DatePicker when is pressed. So I write the following code:

    mEditInit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.date_init);
    mE         


        

Answer 1

IMHO I disagree with RickNotFred's statement:

Popping a dialog when an EditText gets focus seems like a non-standard interface.

Displaying a dialog to edit the date when the use presses the an EditText is very similar to the default, which is to display a keyboard or a numeric key pad. The fact that the date is displayed with the EditText signals to the user that the date may be changed. Displaying the date as a non-editable TextView signals to the user that the date may not be changed.
