Timepicker and DatePicker Dialog in Android

We can use Time Picker  and Date Picker   widget to select a time and date , but TimePickerDialog and DatePickerDialog  is a better choice to do that.

In this post I will discuss how to use DatePickerDialog and TimePickerDialog to select Date and Time.



DatePickerDialog In Android
                      





Here I have described briefly, the Example with full source code is given below after this.
 
Declare following Variables in your Activity/Class

static final int DATE_DIALOG_ID = 0;
static final int TIME_DIALOG_ID=1;

public  int year,month,day,hour,minute;  // declare  the variables to show the date and time whenTime and                                                          //Date Picker Dialog first appears

private int mYear, mMonth, mDay,mHour,mMinute; // variables to save user selected date and time

In the constructor you can initiallise the variable to current date and time.

                   year=month=day=hour=minute=1;
                    final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
                    mYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
                    mMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
                    mDay = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
                    mHour = c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
                    mMinute = c.get(Calendar.MINUTE);



//call the method when you need to show DatePickerDialog
 showDialog(DATE_DIALOG_ID);
//call the method when you need to show DatePickerDialog
  showDialog(TIME_DIALOG_ID);

// Register  DatePickerDialog listener
 private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mDateSetListener =
                        new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
                 // the callback received when the user "sets" the Date in the DatePickerDialog
                            public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int yearSelected,
                                                  int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
                               year = yearSelected;
                               month = monthOfYear;
                               day = dayOfMonth;
                              Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Date selected is:"+day+"-"+month+"-"+year, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                                                         }
                        };


   // Register  TimePickerDialog listener                 
                        private TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener mTimeSetListener =
                            new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener() {
             // the callback received when the user "sets" the TimePickerDialog in the dialog
                                public void onTimeSet(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int min) {

                                    hour = hourOfDay;
                                    minute = min;
                                   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Time selected is:"+hour+"-"+minute, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                                                                  }
                            };


// Method automatically gets Called when you call showDialog()  method
                        @Override
                        protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
                            switch (id) {
                            case DATE_DIALOG_ID:
                                return new DatePickerDialog(this,
                                            mDateSetListener,
                                            mYear, mMonth, mDay);
                            case TIME_DIALOG_ID:
                                return new TimePickerDialog(this,
                                        mTimeSetListener, mHour, mMinute, false);
                           
                            }
                            return null;
                        }
                        

Date And Time Picker Dialog Example with Full Source Code

In the example   I have 2 buttons  
1: Select Date - to show DatePickerDialog 
2: Select Time - to show TimePickertDialog
When user selects a Date and Time in respective Dialogs we will set the selected date and time in Respective buttons. We will set selected date in Select Date Button and selected time in Select Time Button(See the last Snapshot)

Access phoneBoook In Android

In this blog  I  will describe how to access Conatcts/Phonebook in your Android Application.

Contacts are stored in separate tables(in Row and Column form)

 

 

 

 ContactsContract 

ContactsContract defines an extensible database of contact-related information. Contact information is stored in a three-tier data model:
  • A row in the ContactsContract.Data table can store any kind of personal data, such as a phone number or email addresses. The set of data kinds that can be stored in this table is open-ended. There is a predefined set of common kinds, but any application can add its own data kinds.
  • A row in the ContactsContract.RawContacts table represents a set of data describing a person and associated with a single account (for example, one of the user's Gmail accounts).
  • A row in the ContactsContract.Contacts table represents an aggregate of one or more RawContacts presumably describing the same person. When data in or associated with the RawContacts table is changed, the affected aggregate contacts are updated as necessary.

How to Create DataBase in Android

In this Post I will discuss about creating your own database and writing  functions for Insertion, Deletion and Updation of Data in Table.


DataBaseHelper:

We will use  SQLiteOpenHelper  class and extend this class
and overside the methods  onCreate, onUpgrade

public class DataBaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper
{
            public DataBaseHelper (Context context, String name,CursorFactory factory, int version)
            {
                       super(context, name, factory, version);
            }
            // Called when no database exists in disk and the helper class needs
            // to create a new one.

            @Override
            public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase _db)
            {

                     // statement to create the Table
                    _db.execSQL(SMSBlockerDataBaseAdapter.DATABASE_CREATE);
                   
            }
            // Called when there is a database version mismatch meaning that the version
            // of the database on disk needs to be upgraded to the current version.

            @Override
            public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase _db, int _oldVersion, int _newVersion)
            {
                    // Log the version upgrade.
                    Log.w("TaskDBAdapter", "Upgrading from version " +_oldVersion + " to " +_newVersion + ", which will destroy all old data");
           
           
                    // Upgrade the existing database to conform to the new version. Multiple
                    // previous versions can be handled by comparing _oldVersion and _newVersion
                    // values.
                    // The simplest case is to drop the old table and create a new one
.
                    _db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + "SMSTABLE");
                    // Create a new one.
                    onCreate(_db);
            }
           
}



SMSBlockerDataBaseAdapter


We create a DataBaseAdpater class and write the functions  for following tasks

  • to Open the database
  • to close the database
  • to insert a new Row/Record in Database
  • to delete one or more Records in Database
  • to update the database

In the example Code given below  I have created  a Table to store SMSes with following Columns

Id:   Primary Key of the Table
Sender Name:  Name of SMS Sender
Sender Number:  Phone Number of the Sender
Time:  date and time (In Miliseconds) at which SMS is received

Inserting  a new Record in table


To Insert  a new Record in Table  we need to create an Object of ContentValues  class and put the Values in this  like:

ContentValues newValues = new ContentValues();
                // Assign values for each row.
                newValues.put("COLUMN_NAME1", values);

              newValues.put("COLUMN_NAME2", values);

            and so on
then

// Insert the row into your table
                db.insert("TABLENAME", null, newValues);



Deleting a Record from Table


we can delete a row from the Table with delete method
delete("TABLE ANME",String where, String[]  valuesForWhere)

for Ex:
String where="ID=?";
                int numberOFEntriesDeleted= db.delete("BLOCKEDSMSTABLE", where, new String[]{ID}) ;


will delete the Record containing IDs in  new String[]{ID}  array.



To get All the Record in the Table


public Cursor getAllEntries ()
        {
             
                return db.query("BLOCKEDSMSTABLE", null,null, null, null, null, "TIME DESC");
        }

TIME DESC    will fetch in descending order of Time , Pass null to fetch in Ascending Order because by Deafault it fetches in ascending Order

To get 1 or more records depending on Some Condition


Task task=new Task();
                Cursor cursor=db.query("BLOCKEDSMSTABLE", null, " ID=?", new String[]{ID}, null, null, null);


"ID=?"       at RunTime ?  will be replaced by string in the Array OF String passed as 4th parameter
the above query will fetch all the records containing the IDs in String Array(4th parameter)


Updating The Table 

Updating is little similar to Inserting  a record in Table
to update the table we need to create an Object of  ContentValues  and put the new Values in ContentValues object

ContentValues updatedValues = new ContentValues();
                // Assign new values for each row.


                updatedValues.put("TIME", taskToBeUpdated.time);
                updatedValues.put("MESSAGE",taskToBeUpdated.message);
                updatedValues.put("RECIPIENTNUMBER",taskToBeUpdated.recipientNumber);
                updatedValues.put("RECIPIENTNAME", taskToBeUpdated.recipientName);
               
               
                String where="ID = ?";
                db.update("SMSTABLE",updatedValues, where, new String[]{ID});


You can Modify the where variable as per your requirement  like where "EMP_ID="  etc.


How to use this DataBaseAdapter Class  in Activities


Create an Instance of  DataBaseAdapter
Open the DataAbse

Adding EditText in Dialog

We can create a dialog with Edittext   and other views like Button, CheckBoxes, RadioButtons etc.

For this we need to Create A xml layout and and  inflate it in AlertDialog



                               

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
   
   
    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editTextKeywordsToBlock"
        android:hint="Enter 1 or more keywords. Use space berween two keywords"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <requestFocus />
    </EditText>

    <LinearLayout
                 
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="horizontal"
           
            android:layout_marginTop="10dp">
                 

     <Button
         android:id="@+id/buttonBlockByKeyword"
         android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
         android:layout_weight="1"
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:text="SAVE"
         />
    
      <Button
         android:id="@+id/buttonCancelBlockKeyword"
         android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
         android:layout_weight="1"
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:text="Cancel"
         />
   
     </LinearLayout>
   

</LinearLayout>


And inflate this Layout at run time    like following



final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);

                    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.block_by_keyword);
                    dialog.setTitle("Keyword To Block");

                    final EditText editTextKeywordToBlock=(EditText)dialog.findViewById(R.id.editTextKeywordsToBlock);
                    Button btnBlock=(Button)dialog.findViewById(R.id.buttonBlockByKeyword);
                    Button btnCancel=(Button)dialog.findViewById(R.id.buttonCancelBlockKeyword);
                    dialog.show();

How to Create Customized Dialog In Android

We can create a dialog with Edittext   and other views like Button, CheckBoxes, RadioButtons etc.

        android:hint="Enter 1 or more keywords. Use space berween two keywords"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <requestFocus />
    </EditText>

         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:text="Cancel"
         />
   
     </LinearLayout>
   

</LinearLayout>

                    Button btnCancel=(Button)dialog.findViewById(R.id.buttonCancelBlockKeyword);
                    dialog.show();

How to Create Option Menu In Android

Android Tutorial

Option Menu:

Option Menu is a drop down menu containing   options, and appears when a users clicks on Menu button.
For Ex:
 
                                              

We can create an Option Menu with following :
  1. Create a menu xml
  2. Register the menu in Activity
  3. Write code to Handle the Clicks on menu items

1: Create xml for menu


     Create a new folder named "menu" in res folder (if menu folder is not there in res folder)
     inside this  Menu folder create .xml    file

here I have created option.xml   xml for the option menu in  above  Image

           <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
   
     <item android:id="@+id/ChangeColor"
          android:icon="@drawable/setting"
          android:title="Settings"
          />
    <item android:id="@+id/phoneInformation"
          android:icon="@drawable/phone"
          android:title="My Phone Information" />
   
    <item android:id="@+id/callInfo"
          android:icon="@drawable/callinfo"
          android:title="In and Out Call Info" />

   
    <item android:id="@+id/email"
          android:icon="@drawable/mail"
          android:title="Mail to Developer" />
   
 </menu>

android:id
A resource ID that's unique to the item, which allows the application can recognize the item when the user selects it.
android:icon
An image  to use as the item's icon.
android:title
A tittle to show.


2: Register In Activity


Override onCreateOptionMenu   method and inflate the .xml (here options.xml) inside method

            @Override
                     public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
                            MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
                            inflater.inflate(R.menu.options, menu);
                            return true;
                     }


3: Handle Click Events



When the user selects an item from the options menu (including action items in the action bar), the system calls your activity's onOptionsItemSelected() method. This method passes the MenuItem selected. You can identify the item by calling getItemId(), which returns the unique ID for the menu item (defined by the android:id attribute in the menu resource

 To Handle click events override  onOptionsItemSelected  method


                               @Override
                     public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
                         // Handle item selection
                        
                      
                         switch (item.getItemId()) {
                             case R.id.ChangeColor:
                                                              // write code to execute when clicked on this option
                                                                return true;   


                             case R.id.phoneInformation:
                                                             // write code to execute when clicked on this option
                                                             return true;
                            
                              case R.id.callInfo:
                                                              // write code to execute when clicked on this option
                                                             return true;
                                
                             case R.id.email:
                                                            // write code to execute when clicked on this option
                                                              return true;
                                
                               default:
                                                   return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
                         }
                     }


                    

Option Menu Full Source Code


public classMainActivity extends Activity
{
            @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                setContentView(R.layout.main);
        }


       // Create Option Menu
     @Override
        public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) 

        {
            MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
            inflater.inflate(R.menu.options, menu);
            return true;
        }


         // Handle click events
         @Override
          public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) 

           {
                         // Handle item selection
                        
                      
                         switch (item.getItemId()) {
                             case R.id.ChangeColor:
                                                              // write code to execute when clicked on this option
                                                                return true;   


                             case R.id.phoneInformation:
                                                             // write code to execute when clicked on this option
                                                             return true;
                            
                              case R.id.callInfo:
                                                              // write code to execute when clicked on this option
                                                             return true;
                                
                             case R.id.email:
                                                            // write code to execute when clicked on this option
                                                              return true;
                                
                               default:
                                                   return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
                         }
                     }
