Android Datepicker Without Sundays

I am using an datepicker to choose a specific date. The datepicker should not allow to pick sundays. Till now i am detecting sundays after choice and show a message but it would be

Solution 1:

I solved this requirements with creating a custom dialog containing a custom xml layout with datepicker.

I created the following example for everyone, who needs a datepicker dialog with special needs like no sundays, no dates earlier a specific date to be offered to choose:

Create custom datepicker:

publicvoidshowDatePicker() {
    finalStringdateFormatStr="yyyyMMdd";
    finalStringdateSearchFormatStr="yyyy-MM-dd";
    finalStringdateFormatStrGUI="dd.MM.yyyy";
    finalStringdateFormatStrGUIDatepickerDialog="EEEE, dd.MM.yyyy";
    finalStringminDateAvailable="01.01.2005";
    // InitializiationLayoutInflaterinflater= (LayoutInflater) getLayoutInflater();
    final AlertDialog.BuilderdialogBuilder=newAlertDialog.Builder(this);
    ViewcustomView= inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_dateselect_dialog, null);
    dialogBuilder.setView(customView);
    finalDatePickerdatePicker= (DatePicker) customView.findViewById(R.id.activity_thumbnail_dateselect_dialog_datepicker);
    finalTextViewdateTextView= (TextView) customView.findViewById(R.id.activity_thumbnail_dateselect_dialog_dateview);
    finalSimpleDateFormatdateTextViewFormatter=newSimpleDateFormat(Constants.dateFormatStrGUIDatepickerDialog, Locale.GERMANY);
    // Minimum dateSimpleDateFormatformatter=newSimpleDateFormat(Constants.dateFormatStrGUI, Locale.GERMANY);
    CalendarminDate= Calendar.getInstance();
    try {
        minDate.setTime(formatter.parse(Constants.minDateAvailable));
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    datePicker.setMinDate(minDate.getTimeInMillis());
    // View settings
    dialogBuilder.setTitle("Choose date");
    CalendarchoosenDate= Calendar.getInstance();
    intyear= choosenDate.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    intmonth= choosenDate.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    intday= choosenDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    try {
        DatechoosenDateFromUI= formatter.parse(newspaperDatePickerButton.getText().toString());
        choosenDate.setTime(choosenDateFromUI);
        year = choosenDate.get(Calendar.YEAR);
        month = choosenDate.get(Calendar.MONTH);
        day = choosenDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    CalendardateToDisplay= Calendar.getInstance();
    dateToDisplay.set(year, month, day);
    dateTextView.setText(dateTextViewFormatter.format(dateToDisplay.getTime()));
    // Buttons
    dialogBuilder.setNegativeButton("today", newDialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        @OverridepublicvoidonClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            newspaperDatePickerButton.setText(R.string.date_latest_identifier);
            newspaperDate = getString(R.string.date_latest_identifier);
            controller.loadNewspaper(newspaperDate, model.getSubscriptions().get(newspaperEditionPosition), true);
            dialog.dismiss();
        }
    });
    dialogBuilder.setPositiveButton("Apply", newDialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        @OverridepublicvoidonClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            SimpleDateFormatformatter=newSimpleDateFormat(Constants.dateFormatStrGUI, Locale.GERMANY);
            Calendarnow= Calendar.getInstance();
            Calendarchoosen= Calendar.getInstance();
            choosen.set(datePicker.getYear(), datePicker.getMonth(), datePicker.getDayOfMonth());
            if (now.compareTo(choosen) == 0) {
                newspaperDate = getString(R.string.date_latest_identifier);
                newspaperDatePickerButton.setText(newspaperDate);
            } else {
                newspaperDate = formatter.format(choosen.getTime());
                newspaperDatePickerButton.setText(newspaperDate);
            }
            controller.loadNewspaper(newspaperDate, model.getSubscriptions().get(newspaperEditionPosition), false);
            dialog.dismiss();
        }
    });
    finalAlertDialogdialog= dialogBuilder.create();
    // Datepicker
    datePicker.init(year, month, day, newDatePicker.OnDateChangedListener() {
        publicvoidonDateChanged(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
            CalendarchoosenDate= Calendar.getInstance();
            choosenDate.set(year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);
            Calendarnow= Calendar.getInstance();
            dateTextView.setText(dateTextViewFormatter.format(choosenDate.getTime()));
            if (choosenDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.SUNDAY || now.compareTo(choosenDate) < 0) {
                dateTextView.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#ff0000"));
                ((Button) dialog.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE)).setEnabled(false);
            } else {
                dateTextView.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#000000"));
                ((Button) dialog.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE)).setEnabled(true);
            }
        }
    });
    // Finish
    dialog.show();
}
