Why does the datepicker add a calendar in my view?

Question

I am starting to learn how to develop on Android. It is pretty straightforward but I'm facing an issue I did not find any mention anywhere...

I have a view :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     android:paddingLeft="16dp"
android:paddingRight="16dp"
android:orientation="vertical">

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editNomProduit"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:ems="10"
        android:hint="@string/ht_nom_produit" />



    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:paddingLeft="16dp"
android:paddingRight="16dp"
android:orientation="horizontal">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/labelQuantiteProduitEdit"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/labelQuantiteProduitEdit"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

<EditText
        android:id="@+id/editQuantite"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:inputType="number" />

<Spinner
    android:id="@+id/spinnerUnite"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:paddingLeft="16dp"
android:paddingRight="16dp"
android:orientation="horizontal">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/labeDateAchatProduitEdit"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/labelDateAchatProduitEdit"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

        <DatePicker
            android:id="@+id/dpDateAchatProduit"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Which displayed a datepicker. The thing is that the date picker seems to add a Calendar besides the classic rollers for the date picker (see picture). I don't want this view, juste the roller for the date. Am I usign the date picker in the wrong way or is this the orignal behavior ? Thanks !

Add this line to your date picker xml

android:calendarViewShown="false"

This will remove the Calendar.

It will work if you write ```android:datePickerMode="spinner" ```. – Alexandre TryHard Leblanc Feb 22 '15 at 20:33
I just want to add that this option is available on for API 11 and above. – Neon Warge Apr 18 '15 at 10:30
how do you do this programatically (when the picker is created using code and there is no XML?) under API level >= 24? – Michael Jan 02 '17 at 00:59

All you need add under the:

 <datepicker>

method, just add:

 android:calendarViewShown="false"

This will remove the calendar, but keep the scroller.

Hope this helps

I had the same problem. I haven't created any xml file. So I fixed by changing the value of calendarviewshow in Activity. Hope it will help somebody.

We can hide the calendar view in DatePicker using two methods.

1 In Layout(XML file)(Thanks to @coconess)

<DatePicker
    android:id="@+id/datepickerv1"
    android:calendarViewShown="false">

2 In Activity(Java file)

Note: If you are not using "calendarViewShow" in xml, follow this step.

DatePicker dp=(DatePicker)findViewById(R.id.datepickerv1);
dp.setCalendarViewShown(false);

setCalendarViewShown is deprecated in API version 24, now what? — Michael, Jan 02 '17 at 01:03

Change your datepicker from xml as follows :

<DatePicker
android:id="@+id/dpDateAchatProduit"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:calendarViewShown="false" />

Add

android:datePickerMode="spinner"

instead of

android:calenderViewShown="false"
