Android Calendar View (Android App)

Overview

In this tutorial, we’ll be discussing the Calendar Widget using the CalendarView class in our Android Application.

Android Calendar View

As the name suggests, a Calendar View is used to display and select dates of the Calendar. To add a CalendarView in the XML Layout do the following:

<CalendarView
        android:id="@+id/calendarView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

This is how it looks in the Layout Design editor :

calendarView.setOnDateChangeListener(new CalendarView.OnDateChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onSelectedDayChange(@NonNull CalendarView calendarView, int i, int i1, int i2) {
            }
        });

This gets triggered whenever the date is changed by the user.

• i = year
• i1 = month
• i2 = day In the following section, we’ll create an android application with a custom theme and add a custom range on the CalendarView along with showing the difference between animation and non-animation date changes.
