SnapTimePicker is a third-party library that provides a customizable TimePicker
dialog for Android applications. It's visually attractive and gives a snap effect to choose hours or minutes.
Here's how you can implement a customized TimePicker
using the SnapTimePicker library:
Add Dependency
First, add the library dependency to your app's build.gradle
:
dependencies { implementation 'com.akexorcist:snap-time-picker:x.y.z' }
Make sure to replace x.y.z
with the latest version of the library.
Invoke SnapTimePicker Dialog
In your Kotlin code (e.g., within an Activity
or Fragment
):
SnapTimePickerDialog.Builder().apply { setTitle("Choose Time") setPrefix("Time") setThemeColor(Color.parseColor("#FF4081")) setTitleColor(Color.WHITE) } .build() .show(supportFragmentManager, SnapTimePickerDialog.TAG)
Note: setThemeColor()
and setTitleColor()
are just examples of customization. There are other methods available for more detailed customization.
Handling User's Time Selection
To receive the selected time, let your Activity
or Fragment
implement the OnTimePickedListener
:
class MyActivity : AppCompatActivity(), OnTimePickedListener { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.activity_main) // ... rest of your code ... val dialog = SnapTimePickerDialog.Builder().apply { //... customization ... } .build() dialog.setOnTimePickedListener(this) dialog.show(supportFragmentManager, SnapTimePickerDialog.TAG) } override fun onTimePicked(hour: Int, minute: Int) { // Handle selected time here Toast.makeText(this, "$hour:$minute", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show() } }
Customize Further If Needed
The SnapTimePicker library provides various options to customize the appearance and behavior of the TimePicker dialog. Make sure to check the library's official documentation or GitHub repository to discover all the customization options available.
Using SnapTimePicker or any other third-party libraries comes with the responsibility of keeping the library updated in your project and ensuring compatibility with future Android versions. Always check the library's documentation and release notes when updating.
Customized TimePicker using SnapTimePicker in Android:
To use SnapTimePicker, add the library to your project's dependencies:
implementation 'com.wdullaer:snaptimepicker:0.5.0'
In your layout XML file, add the SnapTimePicker:
<com.wdullaer.materialdatetimepicker.time.TimePickerView android:id="@+id/snapTimePicker" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
In your Kotlin/Java code, configure and show the SnapTimePicker:
val snapTimePicker = findViewById<TimePickerView>(R.id.snapTimePicker) snapTimePicker.setOnTimeChangedListener { _, hourOfDay, minute -> // Handle time change }
Android SnapTimePicker library example code:
Here's an example code snippet demonstrating how to use SnapTimePicker:
val snapTimePicker = findViewById<TimePickerView>(R.id.snapTimePicker) snapTimePicker.setOnTimeChangedListener { _, hourOfDay, minute -> // Handle time change }
Custom styling for SnapTimePicker in Android app:
Customize the appearance of SnapTimePicker by adjusting attributes in the XML layout file or programmatically in Kotlin/Java:
<com.wdullaer.materialdatetimepicker.time.TimePickerView android:id="@+id/snapTimePicker" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" app:selection_color="@color/colorAccent" app:theme="dark"/>
SnapTimePicker time format configuration in Android:
Configure the time format in SnapTimePicker by setting the timeFormat
attribute. For example, to use a 24-hour format:
<com.wdullaer.materialdatetimepicker.time.TimePickerView android:id="@+id/snapTimePicker" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" app:time_format="24"/>
Handling events with SnapTimePicker in Android development:
Handle time change events with the setOnTimeChangedListener
method:
val snapTimePicker = findViewById<TimePickerView>(R.id.snapTimePicker) snapTimePicker.setOnTimeChangedListener { _, hourOfDay, minute -> // Handle time change }
