I have tried to implement the date picker in android. I want it to get the data and show it in the text format
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova-2.5.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="datePickerPlugin.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
function dateTest() {
var myNewDate = new Date();
window.plugins.datePicker.show({
date : myNewDate,
mode : 'date', // date or time or blank for both
allowOldDates : true
}, function(returnDate) {
var newDate = new Date(returnDate);
currentField.val(newDate.toString("dd/MMM/yyyy"));
// This fixes the problem you mention at the bottom of this script with it not working a second/third time around, because it is in focus.
currentField.blur();
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<hr>DatePicker Test<hr><br>
<input type="button" onClick ="dateTest()" value ="Today's Date!!" />
<div id="view"></div>
</body>
</html>
I am getting it as an alert...but unable to store it as a string on the same page

Reset to default 7Why loose ur head?
A <input type="date"> will allways deppend on device's interpretation of it, in some android devices it doesn't even work,
There is plenty of plugins, addons, whatever, for it,
I personally like, and use mobiscroll: Link
Edit: Mobiscroll is now paid but there are loads of free frontend mobile frameworks and probably all of them have a datepicker, such as jQuery Mobile-datepicker.
It seems that your currentField is undefined. Did you check the chrome console before running it on AVD ? Pls try to post the element in which you are trying to display the date as well.
For now, I am assuming that you are trying to do what the following code does
$('.nativedatepicker').focus(function(event) {
var currentField = $(this);
var myNewDate = new Date(Date.parse(currentField.val())) || new Date();
// Same handling for iPhone and Android
window.plugins.datePicker.show({
date : myNewDate,
mode : 'date', // date or time or blank for both
allowOldDates : true
}, function(returnDate) {
var newDate = new Date(returnDate);
var newString = newDate.toString();
newString = newString.substring(0,15);
currentField.val(newString);
// This fixes the problem you mention at the bottom of this script with it not working a second/third time around, because it is in focus.
currentField.blur();
});
});
The element is as follows
<input type="text" class="nativedatepicker" readonly value = "Fri Jun 21 2013"/>
Works like a charm !! Hope it helps !!
What I want to happen is simple - I just want a datepicker to display when I click a certain field.
However, the same as Aleks, I don't know what to put in my html, how to use it in html, and what should I put in the html to invoke the datepicker on some input.
The documentation from the plugin is incomplete.
I found a solution from this test project. Steps are as follows:
- Pre-requisite: phonegap/cordova-cli installed
- Install Cordova's device plugin:
$ cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.device - Install Dirk's datepicker plugin:
$ cordova plugin add https://github.com/DURK/cordova-datepicker-plugin - Copy the nativedatepicker.js from the test project and place it on your project's js folder. This file has
showDatePicker(), showDateTimePicker()convenience functions. - Add the ff. to
index.htmlcode:
Note: The datepicker won't show when you test it in your browser
....
<div class="form-group">
<label>Appointment</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control datepicker" id="appointment">
</div>
....
<script src="js/nativedatepicker.js"></script>
<script src="cordova.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function($){
$(document).ready(function () {
$(document).on('click', '.datepicker', function () {
showDatePicker($(this), 'date');
});
$(document).on('click', '.timepicker', function () {
showDatePicker($(this), 'time');
});
$(document).on('click', '.datetimepicker', function () {
if (device.platform === "Android")
showDateTimePicker($(this));
else
showDatePicker($(this), 'datetime');
});
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
This is my working implementation. Input type is text, readonly.
$('.nativedatepicker').focus(function(event) {
var currentField = $(this);
var myNewDate = new Date();
window.plugins.datePicker.show({
date : myNewDate,
mode : 'date',
allowOldDates : true
}, function(returnDate) {
var array = returnDate.split("/");
var day = array[2], month = array[1];
if (day <= 9)
day = "0" + day;
if (month <= 9)
month = "0" + month;
currentField.val(array[0] + "/" + month + "/" + day);
currentField.blur();
});
});
Why would you want to implement a custom date picker if there is an ative one available ?
You can simply use <input type="date"> to create the commonly known iOS date picker.
