Datepicker dialog without calendar visualization in lollipop [spinner mode]?

Question

I read the documentation: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/controls/pickers.html but now in lollipop appears the calendar (it is ok for an event but horrible for set a date of birth, I would a spinner mode.) and I can't remove it! In layout It's easy with this property:

 <DatePicker  datePickerMode="spinner"...> 

but from code of the DatePickerDialog if I try to set

dialogDatePicker.getDatePicker().setSpinnersShown(true); dialogDatePicker.getDatePicker().setCalendarViewShown(false);  

These properties do not work and the calendar continues to appear!

public static class MyDatePicker extends DialogFragment implements DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener {         int pYear;         int pDay;         int pMonth;          @Override         public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {             // Use the current date as the default date in the picker             final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();             int year = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);             int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);             int day = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);             DatePickerDialog dialogDatePicker = new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, year, month, day);             dialogDatePicker.getDatePicker().setSpinnersShown(true);             dialogDatePicker.getDatePicker().setCalendarViewShown(false);             return dialogDatePicker;             // Create a new instance of DatePickerDialog and return it             //return new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, year, month, day);         }          public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int day) {             pYear = year;             pDay = day;             pMonth = month;         }     } 

Answer 1

DatePickerDialog uses the dialog theme specified by your activity theme. This is a fully-specified theme, which means you need to re-specify any attributes -- such as the date picker style -- that you've set in your activity theme.

<style name="MyAppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material">     <item name="android:dialogTheme">@style/MyDialogTheme</item>     <item name="android:datePickerStyle">@style/MyDatePicker</item> </style>  <style name="MyDialogTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Dialog">     <item name="android:datePickerStyle">@style/MyDatePicker</item> </style>  <style name="MyDatePicker" parent="android:Widget.Material.DatePicker">     <item name="android:datePickerMode">spinner</item> </style> 

Note: Due to Issue 222208, this will not work in Android N / API 24. It has already been fixed in the platform for the next release. There is no workaround available for API 24 devices.

Apply the Holo_theme in the code level got worked for me.

new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(),android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Dialog,this, year,month, day);
