[mono-android] Using DatePickerDialog

[John Murray]

Hello Liam
I'm only a rookie on this - an ancient trying to get back into something
modern but the sky-gods on here have helped a lot so I'm pleased to try and
help back - this is just a way of me qualifying I may not be right about all
of this but hope it helps :-)

FWIW this lot works 'out of the box' for me 
You set up a dialog on, say, a button click
Thus

Bdeptime = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.Bdeptime);

  Bdeptime.Click += (o, e) => ShowDialog(TIME_DIALOG_ID);

Then write a dialog 'oncreate' override thus
        protected override Dialog OnCreateDialog(int id)
        {
            switch (id)
            {
                case TIME_DIALOG_ID:
                    return new TimePickerDialog(this, TimePickerCallback,
hour, minute, false);

                case DATE_DIALOG_ID:
                   // return new DatePickerDialog(this);
                   return  new DatePickerDialog(this, DatePickerCallback,
2011, 1, 1);

you then probably need some callback to deal with consequential actions from
the dialog thus

        private void TimePickerCallback(object sender,
TimePickerDialog.TimeSetEventArgs e)
        {
            hour = e.HourOfDay;
            minute = e.Minute;
            UpdateDisplay();   // do something with the chosen info
        }

Hi

Has anyone successfully implemented the DatePickerDialog? I see there 
were a couple of emails about it in the mailing list a while ago.
The tutorial on the website is missing something when it comes to 
implementing the create dialog method.

If anyone knows of some working code out there or could let me know what 
the tutorial is missing that would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Liam
