Resize android datepicker control

Question

How can one resize the initial size of android datepicker control to be smaller or bigger. Is there only way to reimplement it?

Answer 1

I haven't been able to figure out a way to resize it, but have seen implementations where they utilize the DatePicker as a dialog. The date is rendered as TextView with an edit button, which launches the DatePicker dialog. It saves screen real estate when not editing...

Answer 2

To resize the datepicker go the xml and and add android:scaleX and android:scaleY to the appropriate size you need.

Answer 3

Try playing with weight sum inside a restricted container (such as by the screen size or forced padding). I've posted in another thread how did it work for me quite well

Answer 4

Add:

android:scaleX=""
android:scaleY=""

to your XML and change the size of DatePicker
