[MaterialDatePicker] DatePicker as Regular View Element #3429

Open savejeff opened 1 year ago

savejeff commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would like to use the MaterialDatePicker similar to the DatePicker in XML as a regular element in a View.

Especially for Layouts for Tablets would profit from this.

Describe the solution you'd like

    <MaterialDatePicker 
        android:id="@+id/datePicker"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatively, a style update to the basic DatePicker would also work.

It has been long requested back in 2019, but we haven't hear anything back from the MDC Android team. Related issues:

  1. https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/issues/1799
  2. https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/issues/660

I'm recently have this business requirement for my project, but looks like rolling your own implementation is the way to go.

can't believe such a basic ui element is not well supported. Same story with iOS. No unified calender view.

I have completely dropped the my UI layout approach using a calender view and resorted to a list of selected dates.

That would be really useful. What I'm especially missing in DatePicker are CalendarConstraints.
