This code will be used for showing the name of month and hiding date

et1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
			// @Override
			public void onClick(View v) {
				final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
				
				int y = c.get(Calendar.YEAR)+4;
				int m = c.get(Calendar.MONTH)-2;
				int d = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
				final String[] MONTH = {"Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"};

				DatePickerDialog dp = new DatePickerDialog(MainActivity.this,
						new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {

							@Override
							public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year,
									int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
								String erg = "";
								erg = String.valueOf(dayOfMonth);
								erg += "." + String.valueOf(monthOfYear + 1);
								erg += "." + year;

								((TextView) et1).setText(erg);

							}

						}, y, m, d);
				dp.setTitle("Calender");
				dp.setMessage("Select Your Graduation date Please?");
				
				dp.show();
				
				
				
			}
		});

A super easy way that I found to implement a DatePicker is to call it in xml:

<datepicker>
android:id="@+id/thePicker"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

and then hide whichever field you want (in this case the year) in java:

picker = (DatePicker) findViewById(R.id.thePicker);
try {
Field f[] = picker.getClass().getDeclaredFields();
for (Field field : f) {
if (field.getName().equals("mYearPicker")) {
field.setAccessible(true);
Object yearPicker = new Object();
yearPicker = field.get(picker);
((View) yearPicker).setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
} catch (SecurityException e) {
Log.d("ERROR", e.getMessage());
}
catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
Log.d("ERROR", e.getMessage());
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
Log.d("ERROR", e.getMessage());
}}

Solution 3

In case you want to hide the date then use mdayPicker instead if myearpicker.
Similarly use mMonthPicker for hiding the month in DatePicker.
