Disabling DatePickerDialog

Question

I have a datepicker from here that I have to enable and disable with a button click. I tried:

datepicker.setActivated(false);
datepicker.setEnabled(false);
datepicker.setClickable(false);
datepicker.setFocusable(false);
datepicker.setFocusableInTouchMode(false);

but nothing works. I even tried putting the datepickerdialog inside a layout and put the same settings on the layout but didn't work as well.

Thanks in advance.

So, if you only set the `date picker.setEnabled(false);` the datepicker is still activated? — Lunchbox, Apr 11 '14 at 06:35
Sorry, I edited it. And, yes. Even with all of that set, it's still activated. Still enabled, clickable and focusable. — Lendl Leyba, Apr 11 '14 at 06:37
Why don't you use the standard android date picker as described here -http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/controls/pickers.html — Lunchbox, Apr 11 '14 at 06:41
Actually what do you want to diable?? disable the keyboard when datepicker is clicked??? — Lal, Apr 11 '14 at 06:42
`datePicker.setDescendantFocusability(DatePicker.FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS);` can be used to disable the keyboard in datepicker.. — Lal, Apr 11 '14 at 06:44
@Lai the whole link. OH WAIT! is a datepicker far different from a datepickerdialog? — Lendl Leyba, Apr 11 '14 at 06:50
first of all do this `datepicker.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);` and check whether your datepicker gets invisible..@lei — Lal, Apr 11 '14 at 07:46

Make sure that you declare datepicker object globally bind this datepicker object inside onCreate() using findViewById() method.

Yep, I have that. I even put a breakpoint on the part where it is set as not activated, and it ... how do I say that, successful? Lol. – Lendl Leyba Apr 11 '14 at 06:48

I got it to working this way. To disable the datepicker, select the date you want to display and

datePickerView.updateDate(year, month, day);
datePickerView.setMinDate(dateObject.getTime());
datePickerView.setMaxDate(dateObject.getTime());

To enable it back, set it accordingly to default or previous values.
