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

The following works perfectly for me.

First set your date picker widget's input to 'none' to prevent the soft keyboard from popping up:

Then add these event listeners to show the dialog containing the date picker:

// Date picker
EditText dateEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.date);
dateOfBirthEdit.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
            showDialog(DIALOG_DATE_PICKER);
        }
        return false;
    }
});

dateEdit.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {

    @Override
    public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
        if (hasFocus) {
            showDialog(DIALOG_DATE_PICKER);
        } else {
            dismissDialog(DIALOG_DATE_PICKER);
        }
    }
});

One last thing. To make sure typed days, months, or years are correctly copied from the date picker, call datePicker.clearFocus() before retrieving the values, for instance via getMonth().
