Datepicker Dialog Does Not Match Selected Date

Question

Please refer to the following image:

The text above says Thu, October 28, 1909 ... while the datepicker actually matters 3rd jan, 1902. What is the mistake?

Here is my code:

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation") public void setTheDate(View v){ showDialog(DATE_DIALOG_ID); } @Override protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) { switch (id) { case DATE_DIALOG_ID: // set date picker as current date return new DatePickerDialog(this, datePickerListener, year, month,day); } return null; } private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener datePickerListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() { // when dialog box is closed, below method will be called. public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int selectedYear, int selectedMonth, int selectedDay) { year = selectedYear; month = selectedMonth; day = selectedDay; System.out.println("date" + year + month + day); } }; 

DATE_DIALOG_ID is the final constant, and I call the setTheDate () method with the click of a button.

What am I doing wrong?

Just try this, just like your code, but it works for me.

 Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); mYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR); mMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH); mDay = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); y = c.get(Calendar.YEAR); m = c.get(Calendar.MONTH); dy = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mDateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() { public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) { Log.d("err", "onselect"); mYear = year; mMonth = monthOfYear; mDay = dayOfMonth; } }; DatePickerDialog d = new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), mDateSetListener, mYear, mMonth, mDay); d.show();

You can use this code to retrieve a value from a date picker. Add this code inside onDateSet() method of OnDateSetListener()

  TimestampField field = (TimestampField) fieldpicker; Timestamp timestamp = field.getTimestamp(); timestamp.setYear(year - 1900); timestamp.setMonth(monthOfYear); timestamp.setDate(dayOfMonth); field.setTimestamp(timestamp); 

This will display the date in the correct format.
