How to hide/remove date field in datepickerdialog. Actually my requirement is to use the native date picker dialog but it shows up with day, month, and year. But as per my requirement i need only month and year. So i want to hide or remove the day field from the view.
Any help will be much usefull.
I don't recommend using Reflection to do this kind of thing.
There is a simpler and more pretty way to do so:
((ViewGroup) datePickerDialog.getDatePicker()).findViewById(Resources.getSystem().getIdentifier("day", "id", "android")).setVisibility(View.GONE);
Be aware that .getDatePicker() method from DatePickerDialog works on API LEVEL >= 11.
Private DatePickerDialog createDialogWithoutDateField(){
DatePickerDialog dpd = new DatePickerDialog(_activity, ExpiryDateSetListener,cyear,cmonth, cday);
try{
Field[] datePickerDialogFields = dpd.getClass().getDeclaredFields();
for (Field datePickerDialogField : datePickerDialogFields) {
if (datePickerDialogField.getName().equals("mDatePicker")) {
datePickerDialogField.setAccessible(true);
DatePicker datePicker = (DatePicker) datePickerDialogField.get(dpd);
Field datePickerFields[] = datePickerDialogField.getType().getDeclaredFields();
for (Field datePickerField : datePickerFields) {
if ("mDayPicker".equals(datePickerField.getName())) {
datePickerField.setAccessible(true);
Object dayPicker = new Object();
dayPicker = datePickerField.get(datePicker);
((View) dayPicker).setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
}
}
}catch(Exception ex){
}
return dpd;
}
Use the above code for hiding the day field in DatePickerDialog.

The source code to DatePicker and DatePickerDialog are available for you to clone, refactor into your own package, and modify to suit.

DialogMethod called on Click:
private void ExpiryDialog() {
System.out.println("Inside Dialog Box");
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(context);
dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog_date_picker);
dialog.show();
final DatePicker datePicker = (DatePicker) dialog.findViewById(R.id.date_picker);
date_time_set = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.date_time_set);
datePicker.init(mCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR), mCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH), mCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH), null);
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) datePicker.getChildAt(0);
LinearLayout ll2 = (LinearLayout) ll.getChildAt(0);
ll2.getChildAt(1).setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
date_time_set.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View view){
dialog.dismiss();
Integer month = datePicker.getMonth()+1;
Integer year = datePicker.getYear();
expMonth = (month.toString().length() == 1 ? "0"+month.toString():month.toString());
expYear = year.toString();
etExpiryDate.setText(expMonth + "/" + expYear);
}
});
}
This code works and hides the day in a DatePicker, so I can show Expiry Date for Cards. Enjoy!!
((ViewGroup) datePickerDialog.getDatePicker()).findViewById(Resources.getSystem().getIdentifier("day", "id", "android")).setVisibility(View.GONE);
This works properly
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
int mYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int mMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int mDay = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
DatePickerDialog datePickerDialog = new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), AlertDialog.THEME_HOLO_DARK,
new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
@Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
txtMonth.setText(dayOfMonth + "-" + (monthOfYear + 1) + "-" + year);
}
}, mYear, mMonth, mDay);
((ViewGroup) datePickerDialog.getDatePicker()).findViewById(Resources.getSystem().getIdentifier("day", "id", "android")).setVisibility(View.GONE);
datePickerDialog.show();

I am a little too late but posting the edited answer provided by @ULHAS PATIL above that works in case someone needs the same thing!

mCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();// Initialize Calendar

There should be index 0 to hide the date filled, in ll2.getChildAt(0).setVisibility(View.GONE); and visibility set to View.GONE so the space for the date field is not occupied.
private void createDialogWithoutDateField() {
Calendar mCalendar;
mCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println("Inside Dialog Box");
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(requireContext());
dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.date_picker_layout);
dialog.show();
final DatePicker datePicker = (DatePicker) dialog.findViewById(R.id.date_picker);
AppCompatButton okBtn = (AppCompatButton) dialog.findViewById(R.id.ok);
AppCompatButton cancelBtn = (AppCompatButton) dialog.findViewById(R.id.cancel);
datePicker.init(mCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR), mCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH), mCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH), null);
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) datePicker.getChildAt(0);
LinearLayout ll2 = (LinearLayout) ll.getChildAt(0);
ll2.getChildAt(0).setVisibility(View.GONE);
okBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
dialog.dismiss();
Integer month = datePicker.getMonth() + 1;
Integer year = datePicker.getYear();
String expYear = year.toString();
tvMonthYear.setText(month+ " " + expYear);
}
});
cancelBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
}
I don't think you need to go that deep unless you wanna customize it.. there is the :
mDatePicker.getDatePicker().setCalendarViewShown(false);
which is a very legitimate call to remove the calendar segment.
