How to get date from date picker in android?

Question

I am using the DatePicker for my application. I want to get the date that I have selected (on the DatePicker), but it\'s not returning the selected

Answer 1

There are 2 ways to do so:

1. Using init() method of the DatePicker passing in OnDateChangedListener.

      datePicker.init(
           datePicker.getYear(), datePicker.getMonth(), datePicker.getDayOfMonth(),
           new DatePicker.OnDateChangedListener() {
               @Override
               public void onDateChanged(DatePicker datePicker, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
                   selectedYear = year;
                   selectedMonth = monthOfYear;
                   selectedDayOfMonth = dayOfMonth;
                   Log.d(LOG_TAG, "selectedDate = " + selectedYear  + "-" + selectedMonth + "-" + selectedDayOfMonth );
                  //TODO save or use selected value here
               }//end onDateChangedListener
   
   });
   

2. Having a Button click or overriding onPause to get currently selected date when a certain action is to be taken or when user is leaving the screen.

   @Override
   public void onPause() {
       int selectedYear = datePicker.getYear();
       int selectedMonth = datePicker.getMonth();
       int selectedDay =  datePicker.getDayOfMonth();
       //TODO save or use selected value here
   }
