As tyczj pointed out you can use the interface method or you could make datapicker class an inner class of your activity class in which case it should be static and you need a weakreference of the outerclass
Using interface.
Define a interface in DatePickerFragment. Implement the interface in your activity class and set the date to textview.
public class DatePickerFragment extends DialogFragment
implements DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener {
TheListener listener;
public interface TheListener{
public void returnDate(String date);
}
@Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Use the current date as the default date in the picker
final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
int year = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int day = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
listener = (TheListener) getActivity();
// Create a new instance of DatePickerDialog and return it
return new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, year, month, day);
}
@Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int day) {
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.set(year, month, day);
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String formattedDate = sdf.format(c.getTime());
if (listener != null)
{
listener.returnDate(formattedDate);
}
}
}
MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements DatePickerFragment.TheListener{
Button b;
TextView tv;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
b= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
tv= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
DialogFragment picker = new DatePickerFragment();
picker.show(getFragmentManager(), "datePicker");
}
});
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public void returnDate(String date) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
tv.setText(date);
}
}
Second way not sure if this is the best way. I would recommend the above interface method.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {//implements DatePickerFragment.TheListener{
Button b;
TextView tv;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
b= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
tv= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
DialogFragment picker = new DatePickerFragment();
picker.show(getFragmentManager(), "datePicker");
}
});
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
public static class DatePickerFragment extends DialogFragment
implements DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener {
private WeakReference<MainActivity> mActivity;
@Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Use the current date as the default date in the picker
final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
int year = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int day = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
mActivity = new WeakReference<MainActivity>((MainActivity) getActivity());
// Create a new instance of DatePickerDialog and return it
return new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, year, month, day);
}
@Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int day) {
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.set(year, month, day);
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String formattedDate = sdf.format(c.getTime());
MainActivity target = mActivity.get();
if (target != null) target.tv.setText(formattedDate);
}
}
}
