Android Date and Time Picker

Android Date and Time Picker is a user interface component that allows the user to select a date or time using a graphical interface. It provides an intuitive and user-friendly way to set dates and times in an Android application.

Example:

To use the Date and Time Picker in your Android application, you can use the following code:

1. First, add the following code to your XML layout file:

<DatePicker
    android:id="@+id/datePicker"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
 
 <TimePicker
    android:id="@+id/timePicker"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

2. Next, add the following code to your Activity class:

DatePicker datePicker = findViewById(R.id.datePicker);
  TimePicker timePicker = findViewById(R.id.timePicker);
  
  // Get selected date and time
  int year = datePicker.getYear();
  int month = datePicker.getMonth();
  int day = datePicker.getDayOfMonth();
  
  int hour = timePicker.getCurrentHour();
  int minute = timePicker.getCurrentMinute();

This code will display a Date Picker and a Time Picker in your activity. When the user selects a date or time, you can get the selected values using the getYear(), getMonth(), getDayOfMonth(), getCurrentHour(), and getCurrentMinute() methods.
