What to do to avoid view calendar along with datepicker in android 4.0 ... below are images for selecting dates in 2.2 and 4.1

Answer 1

You can use yourDatepicker.setCalendarViewShown(false);

This method works in Api >= 11 .

Answer 2

Use the Raval code. But to run it under Android version 11, follow these steps:

 int currentapiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT; if (currentapiVersion >= 11) { try { Method m = datePicker.getClass().getMethod("setCalendarViewShown", boolean.class); m.invoke(datePicker, false); } catch (Exception e) {} // eat exception in our case } 

Now you are working on all versions of Android (above API> 3)

Answer 3

In case you have an instance of DatePicker, you should write only this in your `

  int currentapiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT; if (currentapiVersion >= 11) { yourDatePickerInstance.setCalendarViewShown(false); }` 

Answer 4

To avoid the calendar in your DatePicker for later APIs

Add

 android:datePickerMode="spinner" 

instead

 android:calenderViewShown="false" 

in your XML layout for the DatePicker widget.
