Question

Answer 1

you can use custom style as workaround to disable calendar input mode toggle. This toggle uses style attribute materialCalendarHeaderToggleButton, so:

<style name="Widget.AppTheme.MaterialDatePicker" parent="ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.MaterialCalendar">
<item name="materialCalendarHeaderToggleButton">@style/Widget.AppTheme.MaterialCalendar.HeaderToggleButton</item>

<style name="Widget.AppTheme.MaterialCalendar.HeaderToggleButton" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.MaterialCalendar.HeaderToggleButton">
<item name="android:visibility">gone</item>

And after that apply theme with:

MaterialDatePicker.Builder.dateRangePicker()
    .setTheme(R.style.Widget_AppTheme_MaterialDatePicker)
